Coaxial connector

A cable connector comprising a housing having an inner surface defining a space, an outer surface, a longitudinal axis, a receiving portion, and a force communication portion;

• the receiving portion being contained within the space and comprising a conductive material, the receiving portion further comprising a first terminal face, and a second terminal face,
• said force communication portion comprising a conductive material and having a first terminal face, a body, and a second terminal face;
• said body of the force communication portion comprising a channel,
• said channel predominantly containing a spring proximal to the receiving portion and a pin distal to the receiving portion,
• said spring and said pin each comprising a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cable connector;
• such receiving portion and spring being so configured that inward pressure acting on the receiving portion exerts pressure on the spring, and
• the spring and said pin being so configured that pressure exerted on the spring from the receiving portion causes the pin to move away from the receiving portion along the longitudinal axis of the cable connector.

A cable connector comprising a housing having an inner surface defining a space, an outer surface, a longitudinal axis, a receiving portion, and a force communication portion;

• the receiving portion being contained within said space and comprising a conductive material, the receiving portion further comprising a first terminal face, a second terminal face, a channel section, and a nipple section,
• said channel section comprising a blind hole having a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cable connector and further having an opening in the first terminal face of the receiving portion and a depth terminating in a floor,
• said nipple section comprising a protrusion forming the second terminal face of the receiving portion;
• said force communication portion comprising a conductive material and having a first terminal face, an internal surface defining a channel, and a second terminal face,
• said channel comprising a primary internal diameter, and a secondary internal diameter,
• said channel having a first opening in the first terminal face and a second opening in the second terminal face,
• said channel further comprising a first region and a second region,
• said first region of the channel being proximal to the second terminal face of the receiving portion and predominantly containing a largely planar LIGA spring having a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cable connector, and
• comprised of a non-conductive material, and
• said spring having a first end, a second end, and a number of meanders formed by span beams and connector beams,
• said span beams being largely perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the LIGA spring, and
• Said connector beams being largely parallel to the longitudinal axis of the LIGA spring;
• Said second region of the channel being distal to the second terminal face of the receiving portion and predominantly containing a pin comprised of a conductive material,
• said pin having a primary diameter, a flange, a spring face, and a target face
• said spring face proximal to the second end of the spring,
• said target face of the pin being distal to the second of the spring and proximal to the second terminal face of the channel of the force communication portion,
• said flange of the pin and the secondary diameter of the channel of the force communication portion being sized to prevent movement of the flange though the secondary diameter of the channel;
• Such that, inward pressure acting on the receiving portion causes the nipple of the receiving portion to press against the first end of the spring, causing the second end of the spring to act up on the first end of the pin, forcing the pin to move outward of the cable connector.
