Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a plug connector having a housing, which is open at a front side to enable the plugging in of a mating connector and has a channel extending therethrough. An inner conduct contact is isolated and arranged therein. Connecting means are used to mechanically connect the plug connector housing to the mating connector. The mating connector locks when it is plugged into the connecting means. The connecting means are shaped in such a manner that said agents subject the mating connector to an axial tension tensioning external conductor contact surface of said mating connector against an external conductor against an external conductor contact surface of the housing. The plug connector can be coupled with a mating connector very rapidly and securely and a reliable electrical contact is guaranteed between the external conductors.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A coaxial plug connector with a plug housing having an opening on a front side for inserting a mating connector and having a channel running through it, in which an inner conductor contact is located and isolated, with connecting means to mechanically connect the plug housing to the mating connector, wherein the mating connector is locked in position when it is inserted into the connecting means and the connecting means are configured to exert an axial clamping force on the mating connector configured to clamp an outer conductor contact surface of the mating connector against an outer conductor contact surface of the plug housing, whereby the connecting means have a radially expandable clamping sleeve configured to be locked with the mating connector during the connection on a clamping surface and divert a radial force on the clamping surface into an axial force component, whereby the outer conductor contact surfaces are clamped against each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
A coaxial plug connector with a plug housing having an opening on a front side for inserting a mating connector and having a channel running through it, in which an inner conductor contact is located and isolated, with connecting means to mechanically connect the plug housing to the mating connector, wherein the mating connector is locked in position when it is inserted into the connecting means and the connecting means are configured to exert an axial clamping force on the mating connector configured to clamp an outer conductor contact surface of the mating connector against an outer conductor contact surface of the plug housing, whereby the connecting means have a radially expandable clamping sleeve configured to be locked with the mating connector during the connection on a clamping surface and divert a radial force on the clamping surface into an axial force component, whereby the outer conductor contact surfaces are clamped against each other.
