Digital, small signal and RF microwave coaxial subminiature push-on differential pair system

A push-on high frequency differential connector comprising:

• an outer body having an outer surface, an inner surface, a front end, and a back end providing a mating surface at the front end, the inner surface defining an opening extending between the front end and the back end;
• a dielectric member inserted into the opening at the back end of the outer body, the dielectric member having two openings therein;
• two electrical contacts disposed in the openings in the dielectric member, the electrical contacts extending from the back end towards the front end and beyond a front end of dielectric member, the electric contacts extending radially outward from the opening beyond the outer surface;
• a dielectric spacer engaging the two electrical contacts beyond the outer surface of the outer body, the dielectric spacer including a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the second end of the dielectric spacer is co-planar with the mating surface of the back end of the outer body;
• and
• an alignment member extending radially upward from the outer surface of the outer body to engage a corresponding opening on a connector sleeve to align the electrical contacts with the connector sleeve, and wherein the outside surface has at least two flat portions configured to engage a corresponding flat portion in a connector sleeve.

A push-on high frequency differential pair system comprising:

• a push-on high frequency differential connector sleeve, the connector sleeve further comprising:
• an outer body having an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface defining an internal opening between a first end and a second end, and a first opening and a second opening in the outer body between the inner and outer surfaces, the first opening extending from the first end toward a center portion and the second opening extending from the second end toward the center portion of the outer body;
• a tubular body disposed in the internal opening in the outer body, the tubular body engaging the inner surface of the outer body, wherein the tubular body comprises a projection engaging a corresponding depression in the inner surface of the outer body;
• a dielectric member disposed in the tubular body, the dielectric member having two openings therein to receive two electrical conductors;
• and
• two electrical conductors disposed in the two openings in the dielectric member;
• and
• a push-on high frequency differential connector, the connector further comprising
• an outer body having an outer surface, an inner surface, a front end, and a back end, the inner surface defining an opening extending between the front end and the back end;
• a dielectric member inserted into the opening at the back end of the outer body, the dielectric member having two openings therein;
• two electrical contacts disposed in the openings in the dielectric member, the electrical contacts extending from the back end towards the front end and beyond a front end of dielectric member, the electric contacts extending radially outward from the opening beyond the outer surface;
• a dielectric spacer engaging the two electrical contacts beyond the outer surface of the outer body;
• and
• an alignment member extending radially upward from the outer surface of the outer body to engage a corresponding opening on a connector sleeve to align the electrical contacts with the connector sleeve.
