An inner contact for a coaxial connector includes: an elongate, generally cylindrical body having a longitudinal axis and first and second opposed ends; and a plurality of spring fingers extending from the first end of the body generally parallel to the longitudinal axis, each of the spring fingers having a projection extending radially inwardly from a free end thereof. Each spring finger is separated from each of its immediately adjacent spring fingers by a slot. Each of the projections has opposed side edge portions, and wherein the side edge portions incline with increasing distance from an adjacent slot.

Coaxial radio frequency (RF) connectors for high-power handling are disclosed. Specifically, a high-power male coaxial connector (HPMC) is disclosed. The HPMC includes a center conductor, an outer conductor disposed around the center conductor, an insulating layer positioned between the center conductor and the outer conductor, and a first elastomer. The outer conductor has an outer conductor front-end (OCFE) and the insulating layer has an insulating layer front-end (ILFE). The first elastomer is positioned between the center conductor and the insulating layer. The insulating layer may include an insulating layer cavity (ILC) extending inward into the insulating layer from the ILFE and the first elastomer may be within the ILC.

A coaxial cable connector for attachment to an end of a coaxial cable is disclosed. The coaxial cable connector has a body having a forward end and a rearward end. An internal surface extends between the forward end and the rearward end defining a longitudinal opening and with a cable receiving area proximal the rearward end and a jacket stop proximal the forward end. A post is positioned in the body proximal the forward end and has a first end and a second end with a bore extending therebetween. An insulator is movably disposed in the bore of the post and has a through-passage and a movement limiter. A gripping member is disposed within the longitudinal opening of the body proximal the rearward end and provides a gripping action as the gripping member axially moves toward the forward end of the body.

An electrical connection system configured to terminate electrical connectors and to transmit digital electrical signals having a data transfer rate of 5 Gigabits per second (Gb/s) or higher. The system includes a first parallel mirrored pair of terminals having a planar connection portion and a second pair of parallel mirrored terminals having a cantilever beam portion and a contact point configured to contact the first terminals.

The corrugated cable co-axial connector includes a connection body (1), having an internal thread (12) in a connector through hole (11); a clamping nut (2), having a central through hole (21), having a cable end and a clamping end in an axial direction of the central through hole (21) which are opposite to each other, and having an external thread (22) at the clamping end; an annular elastic clip (3) which is axially slidingly fitted into the central through hole (21) of the clamping nut (2); and a resilient ring (4) sleeved around the annular elastic clip (3) and located between the clamping end of the clamping nut (2) and the annular elastic clip (3). When a corrugated cable (10) having a corrugated outer conductor (102) is received in the central through hole (21) of the clamping nut (2), the connector body (1) applies at least a radial inward force to the annular elastic clip (3) by the engagement of the external thread (22) and the internal thread (12), to lock the corrugated cable (10) in the annular elastic clip (3). The connector is simple to manufacture and is convenient to use. At the same time, it is able to ensure the reliable cable connection and is suitable for repeated use.

A shield terminal (12) includes inner conductors (14) having tabs (16) projecting forward from bodies (15), a dielectric (21) formed with conductor accommodation chambers (36) inside and configured to hold the inner conductors (14) with the bodies (15) accommodated in the conductor accommodation chambers (36), an outer conductor (37) for surrounding the dielectric (21) and the tabs (16), and walls (23, 31 and 32) constituting the conductor accommodation chambers (36) and formed with air chambers (43 to 50). Focusing on the fact that air has a lower dielectric constant than synthetic resin, the air chambers (43 to 50) are formed in the walls (23, 31 and 32) constituting the conductor accommodation chambers (36). This enables an impedance to be enhanced even if the dielectric (21) is made of a material having high rigidity.

A coaxial electrical cable assembly may include a central conductor disposed within a shield conductor of the coaxial cable. A coaxial electrical cable assembly may include a shield terminal having a tubular portion. The central conductor of the coaxial cable is disposed within the tubular portion and wherein the tubular portion is disposed within the shield conductor of the coaxial cable. A coaxial electrical cable assembly may include a first outer ferrule crimped around the shield conductor of the coaxial cable forming a first seam. A coaxial electrical cable assembly may include a second outer ferrule crimped around the first outer ferrule and forming a second seam. The first outer ferrule is arranged over the tubular portion of the shield terminal and the second outer ferrule is arranged over the first outer ferrule and an outer insulative jacket of the coaxial cable.

Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a coaxial connector with a translating grounding collar for establishing a ground path with a mating connector. The coaxial connector is configured to provide an electrical connection between two mating connectors. The coaxial connector includes a housing with a first conductor and a second conductor mounted within the housing. Further, the coaxial connector comprises a grounding collar mounted to the housing to provide a grounding of the coaxial connector with a mating connector that can discharge electro-static discharge build up before connections are established between the first and second conductors and a mating connector. Thus, the coaxial connector is grounded before establishing an electrical connection between the coaxial connector and a mating connector while also compensating for tolerance stack variability in the coaxial connector. Thus, a continuous and reliable electrical and grounding contact between the connectors can be made through the coaxial connector.
