A coaxial seizure assembly is disclosed that includes an integrated mechanical stop that prevents over-insertion and maintains a nominal/expected impedance value to enable high-frequency switching, e.g., 1.8-3 Ghz or greater. In more detail, the coaxial seizure assembly includes a coaxial receptacle defined by an opening configured to at least partially receive and couple to a coaxial connector. The opening communicates with a seizure cavity defined within the coaxial seizure assembly. A radio frequency (RF) interconnect at least partially extends into the seizure cavity, with the RF interconnect having a first end to electrically couple to an electrical component and a second end that extends a predetermined angle relative to the first end, e.g., substantially 90 degrees. The second end defines a mating surface that aligns within the seizure cavity such that an imaginary line drawn along an insertion path of a coaxial cable conductor pin intersects with the mating surface.

A vehicular camera assembly includes a camera housing, a circuit board having an imager and a first electrical connector. A rear portion of the camera housing includes an attachment portion having an aperture, and includes a first electrically conductive element at the aperture. A second electrical connector is attached at the rear portion of the camera housing. The second electrical connector includes (i) a connector portion for connecting to a vehicle wire harness, (ii) a connecting end for connecting to the first electrical connector, and (iii) a second electrically conductive element for electrically connecting to the first electrically conductive element. As the second electrical connector is attached at the rear portion of the camera housing, the first electrically conductive element engages the second electrically conductive element to establish and maintain electrically conductive connection between the first and second electrically conductive elements.

A connector block comprised of a plurality of spring-embedded blind mate connector assemblies. Each of the spring-embedded blind mate connector assemblies can be comprised of a first connector extending in a first direction and a second connector extending in a second direction opposite the first direction, where the first connector and the second connector can have a common axis and can be operatively coupled to pass a signal between opposite ends of the spring-embedded blind mate connector assembly. The first connector can include a captivator, a connection extension, and a spring between the captivator and the second connector, where the spring can abut the captivator and have an outer diameter no greater than an outer diameter of the captivator.

The present disclosure describes a coaxial cable-connector assembly. The assembly includes a coaxial cable, a coaxial connector, and a polymeric sleeve residing between an outer conductor of the cable and an outer conductor body of the connector. The polymeric sleeve is positioned to separate the electrical contact of the assembly from the mechanical contact of the assembly.

A connector and shielding ring for use with the connector includes a male portion with a shroud and a center conductor and a female portion with a jack and a socket positioned to receive the center conductor. A conductive shielding ring is positioned between the mated connector portions. The shielding ring has a body configured for surrounding flexible tines of the female portion jack and is configured to be captured between the tines and the shroud for providing a grounding path between the male and female portions of the connector. The shielding ring body has an inner surface with a diameter and an outer surface with a diameter and has a taper portion formed on a distal end of the shielding ring body for engaging a surface of the shroud. The shielding ring body has a lip extending radially inwardly at the proximal end for engaging the tines of the female portion when the male and female portions of the connector are mated.

A vehicular camera assembly includes a front housing portion accommodating a lens, a circuit board having a connecting element, and an electrical connector. The rear housing portion includes a rear attachment portion that has an aperture therethrough. The electrical connector electrically connects a wire harness of the vehicle to the connecting element of the circuit board. The electrical connector includes an electrically conductive element that is electrically conductively connected to a coaxial or shielded wire connecting element of the electrical connector. The rear housing portion includes an electrically conductive element that protrudes through the aperture. As the electrical connector is attached at the rear attachment portion, the electrically conductive element of the rear housing portion engages the electrically conductive element of the electrical connector to establish and maintain electrically conductive connection between the electrically conductive elements.
