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.
Claims17
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 of the plurality of segmented portions at each of the first and second ends biased radially outward beyond other segmented portions of the plurality of 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, the inner surface having a slot extending from the front end to a middle portion;
- 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;
- and
- a dielectric spacer engaging the two electrical contacts beyond the outer surface of the outer body.
