Abstract
A coaxial connector for interconnection with a coaxial cable with a solid outer conductor by ultrasonic welding is provided with a monolithic connector body with a bore. An annular flare seat is angled radially outward from the bore toward a connector end of the connector; the annular flare seat open to the connector end of the connector. The flare seat may be provided with an annular flare seat corrugation.
Claims9
A method for interconnecting a coaxial connector with a solid outer conductor coaxial cable, comprising the steps of:
- providing a monolithic connector body with a bore;
- a flare seat angled radially outward from the bore toward a connector end of the connector;
- inserting a leading end of the coaxial cable into the bore, until a leading end of the solid outer conductor extends beyond the flare seat;
- flaring the leading end of the solid outer conductor to provide a flare of the outer conductor adjacent the flare seat;
- ultrasonically welding the flare to the flare seat.
