Antenna interface having a socket with two coaxial cables and a mating plug with two piston contactors supported by a flexible membrane

An antenna interface for a radio receiver comprising:

• a socket, designed to be connected to the receiver, the socket including:
• a body;
• and
• two coaxial cables, each coaxial cable including a core, a conductive braid coaxial to the core, and an electric insulator between the core and the braid, each coaxial cable extending between a first end and a second end, the first end being connectable to a first printed circuit board of the receiver, the second end electrically connecting the braid to the body of the socket, at the second end the core can be accessed through a respective opening made in the body of the socket;
• and
• the antenna interface also including,
• a plug, designed to be connected to the antenna, the plug including:
• a body,
• at least two piston contactors, each piston contactor including a stationary portion connectable to a second printed circuit board of the antenna, and a moving portion relative to the stationary portion, the moving portion including a contact element designed to cooperate with a respective core when the socket is connected with the plug, and
• a flexible membrane, supporting the contact elements of the at least two piston contactors,
• wherein when the plug and the socket are connected, each contactor is arranged opposite an opening such that the core of a respective cable is electrically connected to the contactor, and the braid of each cable is electrically connected to the body of the plug via the body of the socket.
