Abstract
A coaxial connector has a selectively engageable radio frequency interference shield.
Claims11
A switched coaxial cable connector, the connector comprising:
- a tubular connector body housing a spring;
- a spring expanse where a first spring end bears a moving insulator and a second spring end opposite the first bears on a fixed insulator;
- the moving insulator having a central bore and counterbore;
- a moving electrical contact with a pin end, the counterbore for receiving a moving contact shoulder, the pin end passing through the bore into the spring expanse;
- the fixed insulator having a central tubular boss on a side opposite the moving electrical contact pin end;
- a fixed electrical contact with a pin end and a socket end, the socket end inserted in the central tubular boss;
- and,
- the moving electrical contact pin end for removable insertion in the fixed electrical contact socket end for completing an electrical circuit through the connector.

A method of making a coaxial connector with an internal switch, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a tubular connector body housing and a spring therein;
- urging a moving insulator away from a fixed insulator using the spring;
- holding a fixed electrical conductor in a fixed insulator tubular boss that extends away from the moving insulator;
- carrying a moving electrical conductor with the moving insulator;
- boring and counterboring the moving insulator to receive therethrough a pin end of the moving conductor such that a shoulder of the moving conductor is inserted in the counterbore;
- and,
- inserting a socket end of the fixed electrical contact in the fixed insulator tubular boss;
- wherein the moving electrical conductor pin is for removable insertion in the fixed electrical conductor socket for completing an electrical circuit through the connector.
