Abstract
An electronic assembly may include a housing having an opening therein and an RF feedthrough connector in the opening of the housing. The RE feedthrough connector may include a tubular body, and a plurality of displaceable protrusions carried by an upper outer surface portion of the tubular body. The plurality of displaceable protrusions may define an enlarged upper portion thereof engaging adjacent upper portions of the housing. The RF feedthrough connector may also include a sealed joint between the housing and the RF feedthrough connector.
Claims25
An electronic assembly comprising:
- a housing having an opening therein;
- an RF feedthrough connector in the opening of said housing and comprising
- a tubular body, and
- a plurality of displaceable protrusions carried by an upper outer surface portion of said tubular body defining an enlarged upper portion thereof engaging adjacent upper portions of said housing, and
- a sealed joint between said housing and said RF feedthrough connector.
An electronic assembly comprising:
- a housing having a cylindrical opening having a flat bottom therein;
- an RF feedthrough connector in the cylindrical opening of said housing and comprising a tubular body;
- a flat spring between said tubular body and said housing at the flat bottom of the cylindrical opening, said flat spring comprising an annular flat portion and a plurality of spring petals carried within an interior thereof;
- and
- a sealed joint between said housing and said RF feedthrough connector.
A method of making an electronic assembly comprising:
- positioning an RF feedthrough connector in an opening of a housing comprising a tubular body having a plurality of displaceable protrusions carried by an upper outer surface portion thereof to define an enlarged upper portion thereof to engage adjacent upper portions of the housing, the plurality of displaceable protrusions being displaced when engaged with the adjacent upper portions of the housing;
- and
- forming a sealed joint between the housing and the RF feedthrough connector.
A method of making an electronic assembly comprising:
- positioning an RF feedthrough connector in a cylindrical opening of a housing and comprising a tubular body, and a flat spring between the tubular body and the housing at the flat bottom of the cylindrical opening, the flat spring comprising an annular flat portion and a plurality of spring petals carried within an interior thereof;
- and
- forming a sealed joint between the housing and the RF feedthrough connector.
