Abstract
A coaxial cable connector splice including a central conductor extending between opposed ends and an insulating structure interposed between the central conductor and an outer body.
Claims20
A coaxial connector comprising:
- a pin supported within a body;
- the pin having opposed end sections joined by a pin middle section;
- each end section spaced away from the body by a pin support;
- and,
- a compression brace within the body;
- wherein the compression brace preferentially bears forces on the pin supports that tend to compress the pin.
3 more elements
A coaxial connector splice comprising:
- a cylindrical center pin with a longitudinal seam;
- the pin having opposed end sections joined by a pin middle section;
- each end section including a proximal contactor and a distal pin hanger;
- each contactor including a variable aperture formed by tongues extending from the middle section;
- each contactor for receiving the center conductor of a coaxial cable;
- the center conductor for insertion into the pin variable aperture via a fixed aperture formed by a pin hanger;
- and,
- the pin hangers encircled by respective insulating structures.
5 more elements
A coaxial connector method comprising the steps of:
- providing a seizing pin within a body, the pin having a first end section;
- providing in the end section a proximal contactor and a distal pin hanger, the contactor having tongues;
- each tongue defined by three pin sidewall slots;
- and,
- the contactor seizing a coaxial cable center conductor when insertion of the conductor between the tongues urges spreading of the tongues which is resisted by resilient fingers configured to restrain tongue movement.
2 more elements
A coaxial connector comprising:
- a pin supported by spaced apart first and second insulators, the insulator spacing being fixed;
- the pin having a middle section flanked by left and right end sections;
- in the left end section, a first portion of the pin forming a contactor tongue and a second portion of the pin surrounding the tongue;
- and,
- a slotted tongue boundary between the first and second pin portions for enabling tongue deflection for contacting a coaxial cable center conductor inserted in the pin.
