A cable-connector assembly includes: a coaxial connector having an outer connector body with a solder bore; a coaxial cable having an inner conductor and an outer conductor, the outer conductor seated within the solder bore; and a PIM block comprising an annular seat and a generally cylindrical flange extending from an outer periphery of the annular seat along a longitudinal axis of the annular seat. A leading edge of the outer conductor of the cable is inserted within the flange of the PIM block. An outer diameter of the outer conductor is coupled to an inner diameter of the solder bore via a solder joint.

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.

A method for assembling an angled plug connector with a plug connector housing, which has a through channel preferably angled at a right angle in order to receive conductor components extending at an angle relative to one another, wherein a first conductor component introduced from one side (X) into the through channel in the interior of the through channel is connected by non-positive and/or by positive engagement to a second conductor component introduced from the other side (Y) into the through channel. Additionally, an assembly unit for carrying out the method is presented.

A plug insert comprises a base body, a receptacle extending through the base body, and a positioning element at least partially received in the receptacle. The base body has a plug side and an opposite contact side. The receptacle extends through the base body from the plug side to the contact side and at least partially receives a connector. The positioning element is accessible from both the plug side and the contact side and positions a contact pin of the connector.

A shield wire for use with a terminal fitting has a ring (7) is fit laterally to an outer cover (4), and a braided wire (3) is folded onto an outer peripheral surface of the ring (7). A hooking edge (9) protrudes over the entire circumference on a front end part of the ring (7). A barrel (15) of an outer conductor terminal (12) is crimped to the folded braided wire (3). Thus, the hooking edge (9) of the ring (7) is widened into a horn shape to form a bell-mouth (16) with the braided wire (3) hooked to the hooking edge (9). Thus, a hooked sate of the braided wire (3) and the ring (7) is strengthened, so that a holding force of a terminal fitting (T) onto a shield wire (S) is enhanced.

An RF connector having an integral weather protection system for protecting the connector from water, ice, salt, debris and other foreign damage. The connector comprises a Weather Protection (WP) assembly circumscribing a connector body, which, in turn, sealably mounts to a coaxial cable. The WP assembly comprises a housing, a compliant sealing ring and a biasing element. The WP housing sealably mounts over an end of the connector body and defines an aperture at an opposite end thereof to receive the coaxial cable and facilitate axial translation of the housing relative to the connector body. The compliant sealing ring has an inwardly facing sealing surface which defines a diameter dimension. And, the biasing element is reconfigurable from an expanded to a collapsed state in response to axial displacement of the housing relative to the connector body. Operationally, the biasing element engages the compliant ring to expand the diameter dimension of the biasing element around a portion an interface port, and closes over a sealing surface of the interface port to seal the compliant ring against the sealing surface.
