Abstract
A connector (1) includes a body (7) for connecting wires (4) of a quadriaxially twisted cable (2) with contacts (11) of said connector. The connector includes insulating parts (14, 24, 34) for receiving the twisted cable, the untwisted wires and also to allow connecting the untwisted wires with the contacts. The insulating parts include channels arranged such that the characteristic impedance of the cable in the region of the untwisted wires is held at the same level as the characteristic impedance of the twisted wires.
Claims8
A connector including a body mounted on a quadriaxially twisted cable and including at least four contacts and an insulator, said insulator receiving at a first end wires of the cable, and receiving sockets of said contacts at a second end of the insulator, each wire is able to be connected with a respective socket, characterized in that said insulator includes channels in which the wires and the sockets extend, and in that a geometry of symmetrical disposition of the channels in the insulator is determined according to a characteristic impedance of the cable.

- characterized in that the insulator includes three parts, a rear part around the wires of the cable, a central part in a region of which the wires of the cable are linked to the contacts, and a front part in a mating region of the contacts, and
- characterized in that the rear part includes a socket and an optional intermediate piece, such that an inner diameter of the socket and the intermediate piece are substantially identical to the diameter of the twisted wires.
