Port entry connector

A circuit board device comprising:

• a tube-like receiving chamber with an opening at one end of said receiving chamber, said receiving chamber having at least one frictional member formed of a conductive material to frictionally engage and establish an electrical connection to a sidewall of a center conductor of a male coaxial connector;
• a first RF tab for attachment to a mounting member in the form of a circuit board, said first RF tab being electrically connected to said at least one frictional member of said receiving chamber;
• an insulation material surrounding at least a portion of said receiving chamber;
• an electromagnetic shield surrounding at least a portion of said insulation material, and
• plural ground tabs for attachment to the circuit board, each ground tab being electrically connected to said shield.

A coaxial connection device comprising:

• a ported cable device including:
• an enclosed housing;
• a port formed in a wall of said housing, said port having a first cylindrical wall with a conductive inner thread formed on an inner surface of said first cylindrical wall, and a hole communicating an environment, exterior to said housing, with a space within said housing;
• a mounting member, in the form of a circuit board, attached to an interior of said housing, proximate said port;
• a tube-like receiving chamber with an opening at one end of said receiving chamber aligned with said hole within said port to receive a center conductor of a male coaxial connector which is inserted through said hole in said port, said receiving chamber having at least one frictional member formed of a conductive material to frictionally engage and establish an electrical connection to a sidewall of said center conductor of said male coaxial connector;
• a first RF tab attached to said circuit board being electrically connected to said at least one frictional member of said receiving chamber;
• an insulation material surrounding at least a portion of said receiving chamber;
• an electromagnetic shield surrounding at least a portion of said insulation material, and
• plural ground tabs attached to said circuit board, each ground tab being electrically connected to said shield;
• and
• said male coaxial connector including:
• said center conductor;
• a second cylindrical wall having a conductive outer thread formed on an outer surface of said second cylindrical wall;
• and
• a dielectric material between said center conductor and said second cylindrical wall, and wherein said outer thread of said second cylindrical wall is conductively engaged to said inner thread of said first cylindrical wall of said port, and wherein a connection between said male connector and said port is weather-tight.
