Abstract
Abstract A coaxial connector element including a tubular body having an internal cavity, a rod secured against axial motion in the tubular body by a bead made from a dielectric material, such as glass, the axial rod protruding from the tip of the tubular body closed by the bead, a central contact having an axial hollow for its engagement around the rod within the tubular body, and an insulator between the central contact and the wall of the internal cavity within the tubular body. The central contact has near its tip, engaged in the axial rod an annular shoulder which protrudes inwardly into the axial hollow provided in the central contact, the angular shoulder penetrating into the axial rod.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
A coaxial connector element comprising a tubular body having an internal cavity an axial rod secured against axial motion in said body by a bead made from dielectric material, said axial rod protruding from the tip of said body closed by said bead, and a central contact having an axial hollow for its engagement around said rod within said body, an insulator between said central contact and the wall of said cavity in said body, said central contact having near its tip, engaged in said axial rod, an annular shoulder which protrudes inwardly into the axial hollow provided on said central contact, and said central contact having its tip slotted, adjacent said annular shoulder, with a plurality of longitudinal slits which confer a radial elasticity thereon to permit said shoulder to pass over said rod and penetrate into said rod.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
140 words
