Abstract
A coaxial cable assembly includes a coaxial cable having a terminating end and a conductor being exposed at the terminating end. A cable housing holds the coaxial cable and has a conductor slot receiving the exposed conductor. A cable shield is coupled to the cable housing and provides electrical shielding for the terminating end of the coaxial cable. The cable housing is configured to be coupled to a circuit board such that the exposed conductor directly engages a signal pad of the circuit board for electrical connection thereto.
Claims20
A coaxial cable assembly comprising:
- a coaxial cable having a terminating end, a conductor being exposed at the terminating end;
- a cable housing holding the coaxial cable, the cable housing having a conductor slot receiving the exposed conductor;
- and
- a cable shield coupled to the cable housing, the cable shield providing electrical shielding for the terminating end of the coaxial cable;
- wherein the cable housing is configured to be coupled to a circuit board such that the exposed conductor directly engages a signal pad of the circuit board for electrical connection thereto.
A coaxial cable assembly comprising:
- a base shell configured to be coupled to a circuit board over a signal pad of the circuit board, the base shell having a cavity;
- a coaxial cable having a terminating end, a conductor being exposed at the terminating end;
- a cable housing holding the coaxial cable, the cable housing having a conductor slot receiving the exposed conductor;
- and
- a cable shield coupled to the cable housing, the cable shield providing electrical shielding for the terminating end of the coaxial cable;
- wherein the cable housing and cable shield are loaded into the cavity of the base shell, the base shell holding the cable housing such that the exposed conductor is configured to directly engage the signal pad of the circuit board for electrical connection thereto.
A coaxial cable assembly comprising:
- a coaxial cable having a terminating end, a conductor being exposed at the terminating end, the conductor comprising a center wire of the coaxial cable and the conductor comprising a wedge contact terminated to an end of the center wire;
- a cable housing holding the coaxial cable, the cable housing having a conductor slot receiving the wedge contact;
- and
- a cable shield coupled to the cable housing, the cable shield providing electrical shielding for the terminating end of the coaxial cable;
- wherein the cable housing is configured to be coupled to a circuit board such that the wedge contact directly engages a signal pad of the circuit board for electrical connection thereto.
