Devices, assemblies, and methods for terminating coaxial radiofrequency ports

A coaxial terminator for terminating a coaxial equipment port comprising:

• a female connector, an outer housing, at least one support element, a center conductor, a cured resin dielectric, an inner housing, and one or more resistors, wherein:
• the female connector is disposed within the outer housing, supported within the outer housing by the at least one support element, and configured to receive a male pin of the coaxial equipment port;
• the center conductor has a proximal portion and a distal portion and is formed integrally with the female connector at the proximal portion and encircled by the cured resin dielectric at the distal portion;
• the cured resin dielectric is cured in place between the center conductor and the outer housing;
• and
• the one or more resistors are in electrical communication at a first end with the center conductor and at a second end with the outer housing.

A method of assembling a coaxial terminator comprising:

• positioning an inner housing about a distal portion of a center conductor;
• injecting a resin dielectric into the inner housing such that it is encircling the distal portion of the center conductor;
• curing the resin dielectric about the distal portion of the center conductor;
• coupling a first resistor at a first end to the center conductor and at a second end to the inner housing such that the first resistor is in electrical communication with the center conductor and the inner housing;
• and
• enclosing the center conductor, the resin dielectric, and the first resistor within an outer housing.

A coaxial terminator for terminating a coaxial equipment port comprising:

• a female connector, an outer housing, at least one support element, a center conductor, a cured resin dielectric, one or more resistive elements, and
• a tuning screw threadedly engaged with the outer housing, wherein advancing the tuning screw decreases the gap, thereby adjusting an inductance of the coaxial terminator, wherein:
• the female connector is disposed within the outer housing, supported within the outer housing by the at least one support element, and configured to receive a male pin of the coaxial equipment port;
• the center conductor has a proximal portion and a distal portion and is coaxially coupled to the female connector at the proximal portion and encircled by the cured resin dielectric at the distal portion;
• the cured resin dielectric is cured in place between the center conductor and the outer housing;
• and
• the one or more resistive elements are in electrical communication at a first end with the center conductor and at a second end with the outer housing.
