Abstract
A male coaxial connector includes at least one termination device having a tubular shield surrounding and isolated from a pin that is configured to electrically connect with a socket of a female termination device, and a plate extending from one of a leading end of the tubular shield and a leading end of the female termination device. Upon electrical interconnection, the plate forms a ground circuit extending between the at least one termination device and a ground of the female termination device.
Claims3
1-21. (canceled)
A male coaxial connector comprising:
- a coaxial cable comprising a central conductor terminated to a termination device, the termination device comprising:
- an insulator defining a receptacle extending between first and second ends of the insulator;
- a first shield disposed around the insulator;
- a pin inserted into the receptacle and electrically contacting the central conductor of the cable, the pin being electrically isolated from the first shield by the insulator;
- a plate electrically contacting the first shield, and
- an insulative housing surrounding the first shield and the plate and securing the plate against the first shield;
- wherein
- the pin and the plate extend beyond the first shield and the insulative housing, the pin being configured to be a male signal pin for coupling into a female receptacle and the plate being configured to provide a ground path with the female receptacle.
