A coaxial connector assembly has a housing with at least one contact receiving cavity which extends from a mating end to a contact assembly receiving end. The contact receiving cavity has a mounting section proximate the contact assembly receiving end. A contact assembly is positioned in the contact receiving cavity. The contact assembly has a front flange proximate a mating portion of the contact assembly. A positioning member is inserted on the mating portion of the contact assembly. The positioning member cooperates with the flange to position the positioning member on the mating portion of the contact assembly. The positioning member cooperates with a wall of the contact receiving cavity to limit the movement of the mating portion of the contact assembly in a direction which is transverse to a longitudinal axis of the contact assembly.

The present invention relates to a transmission device for a phase shifter and an actuator device for a phase shifter. The transmission device includes a support, a lead screw nut mechanism and an automatic locking device. The automatic locking device includes a shaft connector rotatably supported on the support and configured to be in transmission connection with a driven connector of a driving device; a locking connector which is in transmission connection with the shaft connector, is in transmission connection with the lead screw, has a locking element and is movable relative to the shaft connector and the lead screw; and a locking spring. When the driven connector is decoupled to the shaft connector, the locking spring biases the locking connector in a first position, in which the locking element engages a counter-locking element on the support. When the driven connector is decoupled to the shaft connector, the locking connector is moved by the driven connector to a second position, in which the locking element disengages the counter-locking element on the support. Calibration of the phase shifter may be saved when the driving device is replaced or repaired.

A 4.3/10 coaxial connector configured to receive a mating 4.3/10 connector includes: an inner contact; a dielectric spacer: and an outer contact, the dielectric spacer separating the inner contact and the outer contact. The outer contact includes an outer wall and a plurality of spring fingers, the spring fingers configured to deflect radially inwardly when the mating 4.3/10 connector is mated. The connector further comprises blocking structure that prevents mating of a Mini-Din connector.

An electrical pin and sleeve device is disclosed. The pin and sleeve device incorporating one or more features to facilitate easier assembly and use. For example, the pin and sleeve device may include one or more alignment or keys between, for example, the electrical contacts and the thru holes for receiving the contacts formed in the device to prevent improper insertion of the contacts within the device. Additionally, and/or alternatively, one or more alignment or keys between components of the pin and sleeve device such as, for example, between the contact carrier and the body member to prevent improper coupling of the body member relative to the contact carrier or subsequent rotation thereof. Additionally, and/or alternatively, the pin and sleeve device may include one or more tapered or funneled surfaces for preventing wire splaying during insertion of the electrical strands into the contacts.

An electrical pin connector including a receptacle and a plug configured for matable connection, the plug and the receptacle each including conical backshells with a surface disposed about a central axis and a plurality of pin receptacles helically disposed in parallel curves around the central axis on the conical backshell surface for terminating conductors.

A connection system to facilitate the mechanical coupling, and the transfer of electrical power between, trunk sections of an artificial tree is disclosed. The connection system can include a mechanical coupling system having a guiding surface and a guiding slot on a first trunk section and a guiding protrusion disposed inside a second trunk section. Insertion of the first trunk section into the second trunk section and thus contact of the guiding protrusion against the guiding surface can cause the first trunk section to rotate relative the second trunk section until a predetermined rotational alignment is reached, aligning electrical contacts of first and second electrical connectors, each of which is attached to an outer wall of a respective trunk section. The electrical contacts of the first and second electrical connectors can establish electrical communication between the first and second electrical connectors, and thus between the first and second trunk sections.
