Abstract
A coaxial connector device includes a first signal contact member joined to a central conductor of a first coaxial cable, a second signal contact member joined to a central conductor of a second coaxial cable, a ground contact member has an annular fitting portion arranged around the first and second signal contact members and is joined to the outer conductors of the respective first and second coaxial cables, and a flat partition provided with a ground potential and located between the first signal contact member and the second signal contact member.
Claims20
A coaxial connector device, comprising:
- a first signal contact member to which a central conductor of a first coaxial cable is electrically connected, configured to come into contact with and be connected to a first mate signal contact member of a mate coaxial connector device;
- a second signal contact member, to which a central conductor of a second coaxial cable is electrically connected, configured to come into contact with and be connected to a second mate signal contact member of the mate coaxial connector device;
- a ground contact member comprising:
- an annular fitting portion disposed around the first and second signal contact members to fit a mate ground contact member of the mate coaxial connector device;
- and
- a shell portion extending bendably from the annular fitting portion to be electrically connected to an outer conductor of each of the first and second coaxial cables;
- an insulating housing supporting the first signal contact member, the second signal contact member, and the ground contact member in an isolated state;
- and
- a flat partition provided with a ground potential, held by the insulating housing and located between the first signal contact member and the second signal contact member.
A connector for connecting a first cable and a second cable to a mate connector having a mate first signal contact, a mate second signal contact, and a mate conductive surrounding portion surrounding at least a portion of the mate first signal contact and at least a portion of the mate second signal contact, the connector comprising:
- a first signal contact configured to be joined to a first signal conductor of the first cable and to be in contact with the mate first signal contact to transmit a first signal;
- a second signal contact configured to be joined to a second signal conductor of the second cable and to be in contact with the mate second signal contact to transmit a second signal;
- a conductive surrounding portion surrounding at least a portion of the first signal contact and at least a portion of the second signal contact, the conductive surrounding portion configured to fit into the mate conductive surrounding portion;
- and
- a conductive partition electrically connected to the conductive surrounding portion and partitioning an inner area of the conductive surrounding portion into a first region in which at least a portion of the first signal contact is disposed and a second region in which at least a portion of the second signal contact is disposed,
- wherein the connector is configured to transmit only one signal in the first region at any point in time, including the first signal, and
- wherein the connector is configured to transmit only one signal in the second region at any point in time, including the second signal.
