A high speed radio frequency signal interconnect device provides for signal communication within a system at cryogenic temperatures. The device includes a plurality of conductive traces provided on a first dielectric substrate where the ends of the traces have a predetermined shape. A second dielectric substrate covers the first dielectric substrate leaving the ends of the traces exposed. A connector is coupled to each respective end and includes pins coupled to a respective trace. Each connector is configured to define a respective isolating chamber about each of the first ends of the conductive traces where the pins are attached.

A connector includes a flat plate portion and one or more guide pins protruding formed on a surface of the flat plate portion, each of the one or more guide pins having a first fitting portion disposed on a root side of the guide pin and fitted with a first circuit board and a second fitting portion disposed on a tip side of the guide pin and fitted with a second circuit board, the first fitting portion being larger in size than the second fitting portion in a direction perpendicular to a connecting direction.

Connector assemblies are disclosed. More particularly, connector assemblies including a housing with an inclined wall are disclosed. The inclined wall helps maintain a folded flat cable by contacting substantially its entire fold edge. The housing with the inclined wall may be removably attached to the rest of the connector assembly.

According to aspects of the present disclosure, a method of environmentally sealing an electrical joint formed between an electrical connection element and an electrical conductor disposed on a transparent pane is described. The method includes adhering a mechanically protective enclosure to the transparent pane to define an internal volume therebetween and filling at least a portion of the internal volume with a sealing material that inhibits ingress of liquid into the volume and provides a fluidic environmental barrier about the electrical joint. The electrical joint is disposed within the internal volume and spaced from the enclosure.

A first aspect relates to cable connectors for connecting two multicore cables, namely, two flat cables or one flat cable and one round cable. The cable connector includes a clamping sleeve, having a ceramic insulator with at least two openings, one on each side of the clamping sleeve, for accommodating core conductors. The clamping sleeve includes at least two contact inserts that pass through the clamping sleeve at corresponding openings on both sides. Clamping elements are associated with each of the at least two contact inserts in order to clamp the core conductors on one side or the other side of the contact inserts, and thus to establish electrical contact between the clamping sleeve and the multicore flat cable or round cable, thereby connecting the two cables. The cable connector also includes a heat shrink tube that envelops the entering portions of the cables and the clamping sleeve, and in the shrunken state lies tightly against an outer contour of the clamping sleeve and an outer contour of the portion of the cables that enter the clamping sleeve.

A second aspect relates to a cable termination for the insulating termination of a multicore flat cable. The cable termination includes a clamping sleeve that includes a ceramic insulator with at least two openings on one side of the clamping sleeve for accommodating core conductors. The clamping sleeve includes at least two contact inserts situated behind the openings, a clamping element being associated with each of the at least two contact inserts in order to clamp the core conductors on the contact inserts and thus establish mechanical fixing of the core conductors on the clamping sleeve so as to electrically insulate them from one another, and thus to terminate the cable. The cable termination also includes a heat shrink tube that envelops the entering portion of the cable and the clamping sleeve, and in the shrunken state lies tightly against an outer contour of the clamping sleeve and an outer contour of the portion of the cable that enters the clamping sleeve.

A structure for connecting electric wires in which a single-core conductor made of a single metal rod is connected to a flexible conductor made of a plurality of elemental metal wires and having a higher flexibility than the single-core conductor. A clamping portion formed at one end of the single-core conductor is connected to the flexible conductor with the clamping portion clamping the flexible conductor on two sides thereof in a direction transverse to the direction in which the electric wires extend.
