A guarded coaxial cable assembly provides at least one bundled electrical cable with first and second concentrically aligned conductors, the bundle encapsulated in a flexible jacket that is abrasion resistant and wherein with respect to a jacket cross-section a height of the jacket is smaller than a width of the jacket.

A connector assembly that includes a receptacle with inner and outer shells which have a front end for mating with a mating connector and a back end configured to connect to a printed circuit board. Receptacle primary and secondary ground connections are located on one of the shells. A plug with an outer shell that supports a pin contact to mate with the socket contact. The outer shell of the plug has a front end for mating with the front end of the receptacle and a back end that is configured to connect to a coaxial cable. Plug primary and secondary ground connections are located on the outer shell. When the receptacle and plug are mated, the primary ground connections form a primary grounding path through the assembly and the secondary ground connections form a secondary grounding path through the assembly, thereby electrically connecting the plug with the board.

The joint bearing (30) comprises a support (5). The support (5) is designed to receive the clamping sleeve (20) inside of the support (5). And the joint bearing (30) is designed to clamp the clamping sleeve (20) inside of the support (5).

A connector structure (CS) includes an adapter (1) to be fitted to an opposing connector (100) that includes opposing terminals (102, 103) in parallel with each other and a connector (2) to be fitted to the adapter (1) in a fitting direction (X1). The connector includes a connector housing (3), a center terminal (4), and an outer terminal (5). The center terminal (4) includes a center terminal portion (40) with a central axis (C1) extending in the fitting direction. The outer terminal (5) includes a cylindrical outer terminal portion (50) that concentrically encloses the center terminal portion (40). The adapter (1) includes an adapter housing (7), a first intermediate contact (8), and a second intermediate contact (9). The adapter housing (7) and the connector housing (3) are rotatable relative to each other about the central axis (C1).

An adapter includes a connector main body, a housing, elastic members, a locking member and an elastic clamping member, wherein the connector main body includes an outer conductor, an inner conductor and an insulator; the housing is arranged on the connector main body in a sleeved manner; a limiting space is formed between the housing and the connector main body; one end of the locking member is movably limited in the limiting space, and the other end of the locking member is provided with extrusion portions; the elastic members are at least partially located in the limiting space; one end of each of the elastic members abuts against a side wall of the limiting space, and the other end of the elastic member abuts against the locking member.

A connector or adaptive connector includes a first subassembly and a second subassembly with each subassembly including a center conductor and terminating at one end in a termination portion forming a connector portion. The subassemblies interface with each other to slide with respect to each other. A spring acts on each of the subassemblies to bias the subassemblies to slide away from each other and a sleeve contains the subassemblies and spring, the sleeve securing at least one of the subassemblies while allowing movement of the other of the subassemblies in the sleeve for varying the length of the connector. Each subassembly center conductor includes a respective portion of an electrical contact that cooperate to form a center conductor for the connector. The portions of the electrical contact are configured to slide relative to each other when the connector varies in length for maintaining an electrical signal path through the connector.

Coaxial cable adapters and connectors are provided that are particularly suited for use in high power applications. A flowable insulator filling a cavity within the adapters and connectors improves heat conduction from inner conductors outwards while providing electrical insulation around the inner conductors.

A dual direction connector interface includes a housing having first and second sides transverse to each other, and first and second dielectric bodies carried in the first and second sides, respectively, which have first and second bores formed therethrough, respectively. A conducting pin is carried within the housing. The conducting pin has a head and a shank. The first and second conductive bodies are carried on the head of the conducting pin and have first and second passages, respectively, formed therein for receiving a center conductor of a coaxial cable.
