Abstract
Male or female connector having at least one pair of pins for a two-wire, high-speed link. The connector comprises two parallel pins, an insulating insert, a metal casing and a connection printed circuit.
Claims18
A connector suitable for at least one two-wire, high-speed, shielded transmission line with a predetermined constant impedance, comprising in combination:
- two parallel pins,
- an insulating insert in which said pins are mounted,
- a metal casing comprising at least one sleeve open at one of its ends, said sleeve housing said insert and said pins, and
- a connection printed circuit installed in said casing, coupled to said pins and configured to control the connection geometry of said two-wire line in said casing,
- wherein the at least one sleeve comprises a plurality of sleeves arranged in the metal casing, each sleeve housing having an insert and two pins.

A pair of connectors, each connector suitable for at least one two-wire, high-speed, shielded transmission line with a predetermined constant impedance,
- each connector comprising:
- two parallel pins,
- an insulating insert in which said pins are mounted,
- a metal casing comprising a sleeve open at one of its ends, said sleeve housing said insert and said pins, and
- a connection printed circuit installed in said casing, coupled to said pins and configured to control the connection geometry of said two-wire line in said casing,
- wherein one of the pair of connectors comprising at least one pair of male pins and the other connector of the pair of connectors comprising at least one pair of female pins,
- wherein one of the pair of connectors comprises the casing comprising the sleeve called an outer sleeve, of larger section than that of the corresponding sleeve of the other connector of the pair of connectors, called an inner sleeve, so as to slide along the latter when the pair of connectors are coupled, and
- wherein said inner sleeve is that which houses the male pins and said outer sleeve is that which houses the female pins.
