Abstract
A coaxial connector includes a center conductor and an outer conductor coaxial with the center conductor. The outer conductor has a cylindrical shape with slits forming a plurality of spring loaded contact elements. The connector further has a base for mounting the coaxial connector and an outer housing. To improve passive intermodulation characteristics, the base, the slotted outer conductor and the outer housing are monolithically made in one piece.
Claims7
A radio-frequency (RF) connector comprising:
- a socket connector that includes:
- a center conductor having a center axis of the first connector element,
- an outer conductor coaxial with the center conductor, wherein the outer conductor is dimensioned to have a cylindrical shape with slits that form a plurality of spring-loaded contact elements of the outer conductor, and
- a base dimensioned to mount the socket connector to an auxiliary component, the base having an outer thread and being one integral part with the outer conductor;
- and
- an outer housing operably connected with the base;
- wherein the spring loaded contact elements are not pressed forming a press fit, nor soldered, nor welded into the base.
