Abstract
Abstract An electrical connector attached to a coaxial cable has two contacts connected with the cable inner and outer conductors and a housing about a shield. To provide a simple and low-cost electrical connector, an electrical element is surrounded by insulation and is mounted in an electrically insulated cast element. The part of the cast element inside the housing is surrounded by an electrically conductive plastic shield, which shield is electrically connected with the cable outer conductor and one of the contacts.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
An electrical connector attached to a cable with first and second conductors, comprising: a unitary, one piece cast element of electrically insulating material, said cast element having a slot like aperture receiving said first conductor and closed by a plate engaging said first conductor; an electrical element surrounded by an insulation mass mounted in said cast element, said first conductor being electrically coupled to said electrical element, said plate preventing said insulation mass from leaking out of one end of said cast element; a shield of electrically conductive plastic surrounding said cast element, said electrical element and said insulation mass, said shield being electrically coupled to said second conductor; a housing surrounding said shield; and first and second electrical contacts, said first contact electrically coupled to said electrical element, said second contact electrically coupled to said shield.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
