Abstract
A capacitive coupling includes a conductive clip 32 adapting to an outer profile of an electrical connector 1 and providing a capacitive coupling with multiple conduction paths through capacitor elements 33 held by the clip 32 in pressure engagement with a conductive shell 9 of the connector 1, the clip 32 further providing a voltage discharge path between the clip 32 and the shell 9.
Claims4
In an electrical coaxial connector for mounting to a conductive panel and comprising, an insulated inner signal transmitting contact, an insulated outer conductive shell and a coupling portion for coupling the shell to the panel, wherein the improvement comprises:
- electrical capacitor elements inset within an outer profile of the connector,
- a conductive clip inset within the outer profile and holding said capacitor elements in pressure contact with said shell, and
- contact surfaces of said clip establishing a capacitive electrical coupling of said shell and the panel by engaging the panel.
