RF plug connection system and method for assembling the RF plug connection system

Abstract

An RF plug connection system includes a contact part which can preferably be crimped to an RF conductor in an RF cable, an insulating part that holds the contact part, at least one insulation-piercing terminal contact holder which can be disposed on the RF cable and an intermediate housing which holds and preferably guides the insulation-piercing terminal contact holder. The insulation-piercing terminal contact holder has at least one blade which makes contact with an outer conductor of the RF cable when the insulation-piercing terminal contact holder is pressed against the RF cable. An outer housing is fitted over the intermediate housing. A method for assembling the RF plug connection system includes stripping insulation from an RF conductor of an RF cable, preferably crimping an exposed conductor to a contact part, inserting the contact part into an insulating part in an intermediate housing, placing the insulation-piercing terminal contact holder on the RF cable, applying pressure to the insulation-piercing terminal contact holder so that its blade cuts through the insulation of the RF cable and makes contact with the outer conductor, and fitting a preferably two-part outer housing.
