Abstract
A high-current coaxial connection with two plug elements that can be connected with one another, in particular to connect a current-carrying coaxial conductor to a gradient coil of a magnetic resonance apparatus, has a first and second coupling rings provided at the respective plug elements. The first coupling ring with a first thread is screwed onto one plug contact to be fixed to the plug element while the second coupling ring with a second thread that overlaps the first coupling ring, is screwed onto a mating thread section at the other plug element. Both coupling rings are rotationally locked relative to one another and the first thread and the second thread are different.
Claims9
A high-current coaxial connection comprising:
- a first plug element and a second plug element that mechanically mates with said first plug element, said first plug element being connected to a first part of a current-carrying coaxial conductor and said second plug element being connected to a second part of said current-carrying coaxial conductor;
- first and second coupling rings respectively mounted at said first and second plug elements;
- said first coupling ring having a first thread and being screwed onto a plug contact that fixes said first coupling ring to said first plug element;
- said second coupling ring having a second thread and overlapping said first coupling ring, and being screwed with said second thread onto a mating thread section at said second plug element;
- and
- each of said first and second coupling rings being rotationally locked relative to each other and said first thread and said second thread being different.
