Abstract

Abstract A coaxial connector (1) comprises, a conductive electrical contact (2) for connection with a signal conductor (7) of an electrical cable (6), a conductive shell (3) concentrically encircling the contact (2) for connection with a conductive shield (9) of the cable (6), an insulation part (4) concentrically between the contacts (2) and the shell (3), and projections in the contact (2) and in the shell (3) formed by bulged indentations instead of by cutting the contact (2) and the shell (3).

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 191 words
A coaxial connector comprising; a conductive electrical contact for connection with a signal conductor of an electrical cable, a conductive shell concentrically encircling the contact for connection with a conductive shield of the cable, a dielectric body encircled by a forward portion of the shell and concentrically between the contact and the shell, the dielectric body having a contact receiving cavity with a rear facing wall and a rear end inside the shell, the contact being received in the cavity with a front end of the contact facing the wall, projections on the exterior of the contact that are continuous with an exterior surface of the contact engaging the rear end of the dielectric body and preventing the front end of the contact from abutting the rear facing wall, buldged projections on the inside of the shell formed by indentations in the exterior of the shell radially compressing together the shell and the dielectric body and the contact, and a second dielectric body encircled by the shell and receiving a rear end of the contact, the second dielectric body having a forward facing shoulder at the rear end of the contact.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 191 words
A coaxial connector comprising; a conductive electrical contact for connection with a signal conductor of an electrical cable, a conductive shell concentrically encircling the contact for connection with a conductive shield of the cable, a dielectric body encircled by a forward portion of the shell and concentrically between the contact and the shell, the dielectric body having a contact receiving cavity with a rear facing wall and a rear end inside the shell, the contact being received in the cavity with a front end of the contact facing the wall, projections on the exterior of the contact that are continuous with an exterior surface of the contact engaging the rear end of the dielectric body and preventing the front end of the contact from abutting the rear facing wall, buldged projections on the inside of the shell formed by indentations in the exterior of the shell radially compressing together the shell and the dielectric body and the contact, and a second dielectric body encircled by the shell and receiving a rear end of the contact, the second dielectric body having a forward facing shoulder at the rear end of the contact.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
A coaxial connector as recited in claim 1, comprising: a front end of the dielectric body being supported concentrically against an interior of the shell.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 22 words
A coaxial connector as recited in claim 1, comprising: an enlarged portion of the dielectric body overlapping the front of the shell.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
A coaxial connector as recited in claim 1, comprising: projections formed by bulged indentations for radially compressing the shell and the dielectric body and the contact together.
