Abstract
The differential pair system includes a push-on high frequency differential interconnect and push-on high frequency differential connector. The system allows for blind mating of the two components, using a keying system for the two electrical conductors to be axially and radially aligned.
Claims16
A push-on high frequency differential interconnect comprising:
- a tubular body having a central opening, a first end, and a second end, the first end and second end are segmented into a plurality of segmented portions, the plurality of segmented portions biased radially outward to engage and retain a corresponding connector, at least one gap extending between two adjacent segmented portions to provide a key for the corresponding connector;
- a dielectric member disposed in the central opening of the tubular body, the dielectric member having two openings therein to receive two electrical conductors;
- and
- an electrical conductor disposed in each of the two openings in the dielectric member.

A push-on high frequency differential connector comprising:
- an outer body having an outer surface, an inner surface, a front end, and a back end, the inner surface defining an opening extending between the front end and the back end;
- a dielectric member inserted into the opening at the back end of the outer body, the dielectric member having two openings therein;
- two electrical contacts disposed in the openings in the dielectric member, the electrical contacts extending towards the front end and beyond a front end of dielectric member;
- a dielectric spacer engaging the two electrical contacts beyond the outer surface of the outer body;
- and
- an alignment member extending radially downward from the inner surface of the outer body to engage a corresponding gap in an interconnect to align electrical contacts with the interconnect.
