A heavy-duty, harsh environment coaxial connector assembly, comprising:
- a mounting shell connector including a cylindrical body and an electrically conductive mounting flange extending from the cylindrical body;
- a plurality of mounting apertures formed in the mounting flange to support the mounting shell connector via a plurality of fasteners extending through the respective mounting apertures;
- and
- wherein each of the plurality of fasteners is electrically isolated from the mounting flange, wherein a ground path connection between the mounting flange and the plurality of fasteners is broken by a nonconductive bushing.
A heavy-duty, harsh environment coaxial connector assembly, comprising:
- a mounting shell connector including an electrically conductive mounting flange and a cylindrical body extending from a first side of the mounting flange and a connector portion extending a second side of the mounting flange;
- a plurality of mounting apertures formed in the mounting flange to support the mounting shell connector via a plurality of fasteners extending through the respective plurality of mounting apertures;
- and
- a respective plurality of electrically nonconductive bushings each electrically isolating a respective one of the fasteners from the mounting flange, wherein a ground path connection between the mounting flange and a respective one of the fasteners is broken by one of the respective plurality of electrically nonconductive bushings.
