Electrical connector for coaxial cable

An electrical connector assembly adapted to connect a first cable to a second cable, each cable including coaxial wires having a center conductor and an outer conductor separated by an insulating layer, by connecting the center and outer conductors of the first cable with the center and outer conductors, respectively, of the second cable, the electrical connector assembly comprising:

• a male connector housing having a plurality of bores that are each adapted to receive a conductive pin;
• a first plurality of conductive pins, each disposed within a different bore of the male connector housing and each being coupled to a different center conductor of the first coaxial cable;
• a first plurality of dielectric material inserts, each disposed within a different male connector housing bore and insulating each respective first conductive pin from contact with the male connector housing bore;
• a female connector housing having a plurality of bores that are each adapted to receive a conductive pin;
• a second plurality of conductive pins, each disposed within a different bore of the female connector housing and each being coupled to different center conductor of the second coaxial cable;
• and
• a second plurality of dielectric material inserts, each disposed within a different female connector housing bore and insulating each respective second conductive pin from contact with the female connector housing bore;
• wherein the male connector housing and first dielectric material inserts are adapted to engage with the female connector housing and second dielectric material inserts such that the second dielectric material inserts engage the male connector housing bore in a friction fit and the first conductive pins conductively engage the second conductive pins.
