Abstract:
A connector with a capacitively coupled connector interface for interconnection with a mating portion with a sidewall. A connector body has an outer conductor coupling surface at an interface end covered by an outer conductor dielectric spacer. The outer conductor coupling surface is dimensioned to seat spaced apart from the sidewall by the outer conductor dielectric spacer when the connector body and the mating portion are in an interlocked position. A releasable retainer may be provided the releasable retainer dimensioned to secure the connector body and the mating portion in the interlocked position.
Abstract:
A connector with a capacitively coupled connector interface for interconnection with a female portion is provided with an annular groove with a sidewall open to an interface end of the female portion. A male portion is provided with a male outer conductor coupling surface at an interface end covered by an outer conductor dielectric spacer. A waveguide path between the male outer conductor coupling surface and the female portion while in the interlocked position extends from the outer conductor dielectric spacer to an exterior of the interconnection through an S bend in a radial direction to improve RF isolation. The male outer conductor coupling surface is dimensioned to seat spaced apart from the sidewall by the outer conductor dielectric spacer within the annular groove when the male portion and the female portion are in an interlocked position.
Abstract:
A connection interface with a female portion for interconnection with a conductive male portion or a capacitive coupling male portion interface provides conductive coupling when interconnected with the conductive male portion and capacitive coupling when coupled with the capacitive coupling male portion. The female portion may include a spring basket dimensioned to receive a pin of the conductive male portion and to seat within a socket of the conductive male portion, separated by an inner conductor dielectric spacer.
Abstract:
In a method for attaching a connector to a coaxial cable a solder preform is placed upon an end of an outer conductor of the cable. A connector body of the connector is seated upon an interface pedestal and the end of the outer conductor is inserted into a bore of the connector body against the interface pedestal. The outer conductor, the connector body and the interface pedestal contribute sidewalls to form a solder cavity, and the solder preform is heated. A seat may be applied to the interface pedestal to provide a thermal barrier and/or enhanced seal characteristics that are cost efficiently replaceable upon degradation.
Abstract:
A connector with a capacitively coupled connector interface for interconnection with a female portion is provided with an annular groove, with a sidewall, open to an interface end of the female portion. A male portion is provided with a male outer conductor coupling surface at an interface end, covered by an outer conductor dielectric spacer. A waveguide path between the male outer conductor coupling surface and the female portion, while in the interlocked position, may extend from the outer conductor dielectric spacer to an exterior of the interconnection through an s-bend in a radial direction, to improve RF isolation. Alternatively and/or additionally an overbody may be provided as an RF absorbing chamber including RF absorbing material and which may include a plurality of RF absorbing chambers isolated from one another, where multiple interconnections are present.

A connector with a capacitively coupled connector interface for interconnection with a mating portion with a sidewall. A connector body has an outer conductor coupling surface at an interface end, covered by an outer conductor dielectric spacer. The outer conductor coupling surface is dimensioned to seat, spaced apart from the sidewall by the outer conductor dielectric spacer, when the connector body and the mating portion are in an interlocked position. A releasable retainer may be provided, the releasable retainer dimensioned to secure the connector body and the mating portion in the interlocked position.
