Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector for terminating semi-rigid coaxial cable according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Connectors of that kind are typically used in high performance radio and ultra-high frequency applications for terminating and connecting semi-rigid coaxial cables to a printed circuit board or to a substrate.
  • Semi-rigid cables typically have a center copper conductor and an outer conductor or shield of plated copper or aluminum and a suitable dielectric medium.
  • considerable difficulty has been experienced in achieving cable end termination. More particularly, difficulty is experienced in securing the connector to the cable outer conductor with sufficient strength so that the two will not separate under physical loads or fail under thermal cycling which are normal in actual and establishing connectorized contact with the cable outer conductor without degrading electrical performance at the junction.
  • Connectors for semi-rigid coaxial cables are known from US Patent No. 4 408 821 , US Patent No. 3 824 686 and U. S. Patent No. 3 769 444 . These known connectors are expensive to produce, of multi- piece design and employ costly, labor-intensive procedures to achieve effective cable end termination.
  • the connector provides retention of the cable and electrical contact with the outer conductor or shield of the cable utilizing a slotted collet-type connector and provides electrical contact to the center conductor by means of a socket which can be soldered into a printed circuit board or which can be double ended and may be soldered to one cable to provide a receiving socket for a matching cable.
  • a standard threaded nut is tightened on the slotted sleeve against a flange to compress the sleeve against the cable outer conductor.
  • the connector can be used for connecting a semi-rigid cable to a printed circuit board.
  • the connector can be used for grounding the outer conductor of the semi-rigid cable to a bulkhead.
  • coaxial cable 1 comprises an axial center conductor 3 enclosed by an insulating dielectric medium 5 and surrounded by an outer shield or conductor 7. A portion of the dielectric 5 and outer conductor 7 is removed exposing a short length of the center conductor 3 which is inserted into the center conductor socket 9.
  • the connector body 11 comprises a slotted collet or sleeve 13 with a flat annular base or flange 15 extending radially outward from the non-slotted end 17 of sleeve 13.
  • Four solder studs 19 attached to the bottom of flange 15 facilitate mounting the connector to a printed circuit board.
  • the sleeve 13 is formed with an internal bore 21 extending through the flange 15 having a generally snug sliding engagement over the cable outer conductor 7, counterbore 23 and the flange 15 defining shoulder 25 and counterbore 27 defining sloped shoulder 29.
  • the threaded portion of sleeve 13 utilizes standard thread with no taper.
  • the connector may be machined from brass or some other suitable material or die cast from a suitable material such as zinc and then tin plated if necessary.
  • a printed circuit board (not shown) is prepared with mounting holes 37 and 39 as shown in Figure 4.
  • Connector 11 is mounted on the printed circuit board with solder studs 19 soldered into mounting holes 37 and center conductor socket 9 soldered into mounting hole 39.
  • the coaxial cable 1 is then inserted into the sleeve 13 such that the cable 1 and center conductor 3 protrude through the flange 15 and the center conductor 3 engages center conduc tor socket 9.
  • Coupling nut 31 is positioned on the threaded portion of sleeve 13 and tightened against the flange 15. As the coupling nut 31 bottoms out against the flange 15 the sleeve 13 is compressed against the coaxial cable outer conductor 7. Compression of the sleeve 13 forces the inner bore 21 into the softer cable outer conductor 7 insuring retention of the cable in connector 11 and good electrical contact between the connector 11 and the cable outer conductor 7.
  • the connector 40 generally comprises con nector body 41 with slotted, threaded collets or sleeves 43 and 45 extending from each end. Internally, the connector defines two concentric bores, the larger bore 47 defines sleeves 43 and 45 and the smaller bore 49 extends the through the connector body 41 defining shoulder 51 and 53.
  • the larger bore 47 is of substantially the same diameter as the outer conductors 55 of a pair of coaxial cables to be connected providing a snug fit when the coaxial cables are inserted in the connector sleeves 43 and 45.
  • the outer conductor 55 and dielectric 57 are butted up against shoulder 51 and 53 and center conductors 59 extend into a double ended center conductor socket 61 providing electrical contact between the two center conductors 59.
  • Air gap 63 is formed between the walls of bore 49 and the outer diameter of socket 61 to provide im- pedence matching.
  • the connector body 41 is inserted through an opening in wall 65, then threaded coupling nuts (not shown) are tightened on sleeves 43 and 45. As the coupling nuts bottom out against the wall 65 and the connector body 41, the slotted conductor 55 providing support and retention of the cable and electrical contact between the outer conductor 55 and the connector body 41 and the wall 65.
  • the connector 70 comprises a connector body 71 having a slotted sleeve 73 extending from one end and an internal bore 75 extending through the connector body 71 and sleeve 73.
  • the diameter of the bore 75 is approximately the same as the diameter of the outer conductor 77 of coaxial cable 79 thereby providing a snug fit when cable 79 is drawn through the connector 70.
  • the connector body 71 is inserted through an opening in wall 81 and a coupling nut (not shown) is tightened on sleeve 73.
