A shielded connector assembly is provided for a coaxial cable which includes a center conductor with an insulating layer thereabout, a conductive shield and an outer insulating covering. A non-conductive body is provided for receiving an end of the coaxial cable with the conductive shield exposed. The body has a conductive contact thereon for engaging the center conductor of the cable. A conductive outer casing is positioned about at least a portion of the body for shielding the cable end and having a portion for engaging the outside of the conductive shield of the cable. A rigid sheath is positioned between the insulating layer and the conductive shield of the cable to provide backing support for the shield on the inside thereof. The portion of the conductive outer casing which engages the outside of the conductive shield of the cable projects through a slit in the body. Preferably, the body includes a single lower body part and a pair of upper body parts. The conductive outer casing includes a single lower casing half and an upper casing half defined by two casing parts. The connector assembly thereby can interconnect the ends of two coaxial cables and facilitate some assembly being performed in a production environment and the remaining assembly being performed in the field.
A shielded connector assembly for a coaxial cable which includes a center conductor with an insulating layer thereabout, a conductive shield and an outer insulating covering, comprising:
A shielded connector assembly for interconnecting the ends of two coaxial cables each having a center conductor with an insulating layer thereabout, a conductive shield and an insulating covering, comprising:
A shielded connector assembly for a coaxial cable which includes a center conductor with an insulating layer thereabout, a conductive shield about the insulating layer and an outer insulating covering, comprising:
A shielded connector assembly for interconnecting two coaxial cables each having a central conductor with an insulating layer thereabout, a conductive shield and an insulating covering, comprising an elongate conductive first outer casing having two end portions each with two recesses bounded by walls, a first non-conductive body positioned in said first outer casing and through which said end portions extend, a conductive slit contact disposed in said first body and having two end walls provided with slits, a second and a third non-conductive body each disposed over one of said contact end walls and each disposed over a respective longitudinal half of the first body as well as each within a respective longitudinal half of said first outer casing, each second and third body being provided with a slit, and a second and a third conductive outer casing adapted to be disposed on said second and third bodies, respectively, and each second and third conductive outer casing being provided with an end portion having a recess bounded by walls and being adapted to be introduced through the last-mentioned slit.
