Abstract
Coaxial cable adapters and connectors are provided that are particularly suited for use in high power applications. A flowable insulator filling a cavity within the adapters and connectors improves heat conduction from inner conductors outwards while providing electrical insulation around the inner conductors.
Claims18
A coaxial adapter comprising:
- a first outer body,
- a first solid insulator within the outer body,
- a first inner conductor within the first solid insulator,
- a second inner conductor engaged with the first inner conductor,
- a second solid insulator surrounding the second inner conductor and enclosing a chamber within the first outer body that is also enclosed by the first solid insulator, the engagement between the first and second conductors residing within the chamber, and
- a flowable insulator filling the chamber, wherein
- the engagement between the first inner conductor and second inner conductor includes a void therewithin that is filled with the flowable insulator.
