Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to an angled coaxial connector element of the type including a substantially parallelepipedal conductor body, at least one angled conducting stalk, one end of which is linked to a pin projecting from one of the faces of the said body and the other end of which is linked to the central conductor of a coaxial contact, projecting from another face of the said body and perpendicular to the pin, the angled conducting stalk being held by an insulant within an internal L-shaped conduit produced in the body. The said insulant (18, 19) has a narrowing in cross-section defining a layer of air (18', 19') around at least a part of the straight-line branch of the said stalk (8, 9).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
223 words
An angled coaxial connector element including: (a) a substantially parallelepipedal conductor body having a first and a second face perpendicular to each other and at least two L-shaped conduits, each having an inner wall and an opening on said first and second faces of the body, (b) each L-shaped conduit having two axes contained in a common plane, (c) the body being produced in two separate body parts assembled along said plane, (d) pins projecting from the first face of the body for connecting the connector element to a printed circuit board, (e) at least two coaxial contacts, each located at the opening of the L-shaped conduits on the second face of the body, (f) each coaxial contact comprising a central conductor and an external conductor, the external conductor of each coaxial contact being electrically connected to the body, (g) at least two conducting stalks having a bend between two straight branches making said stalks angled, each angled stalk located in said L-shaped conduit and having a first end portion connected to the central conductor of a coaxial contact of the second face of the body, and (h) an insulant surrounding each angled conducting stalk and having an external surface bearing against the inner wall of the L-shaped conduit at least in the region of the bend in which the stalk is located.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
223 words
An angled coaxial connector element including: (a) a substantially parallelepipedal conductor body having a first and a second face perpendicular to each other and at least two L-shaped conduits, each having an inner wall and an opening on said first and second faces of the body, (b) each L-shaped conduit having two axes contained in a common plane, (c) the body being produced in two separate body parts assembled along said plane, (d) pins projecting from the first face of the body for connecting the connector element to a printed circuit board, (e) at least two coaxial contacts, each located at the opening of the L-shaped conduits on the second face of the body, (f) each coaxial contact comprising a central conductor and an external conductor, the external conductor of each coaxial contact being electrically connected to the body, (g) at least two conducting stalks having a bend between two straight branches making said stalks angled, each angled stalk located in said L-shaped conduit and having a first end portion connected to the central conductor of a coaxial contact of the second face of the body, and (h) an insulant surrounding each angled conducting stalk and having an external surface bearing against the inner wall of the L-shaped conduit at least in the region of the bend in which the stalk is located.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
The angled coaxial connector element of claim 1, in which (a) said insulant surrounding each angled conducting stalk is of substantially constant width in the region of the bend of said stalk.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The angled coaxial connector element of claim 1, in which (a) each of said stalks has said insulant overmolded thereon.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
An angled coaxial connector element according to claim 1, characterized in that the two body parts are held by riveting studs integral with one of said two body parts, within orifices produced in the other of said two parts.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
An angled coaxial connector element according to claim 5, characterized in that it includes an earth plate riveted to both of said two parts of the conductor body.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
An angled coaxial connector element according to claim 1, characterized in that the insulant has a narrowing in cross-section defining a layer of air around at least a part of the straight branch of said angled stalk.
