The present disclosure pertains to an antenna assembly configured to inconspicuously provide mobile communication in rugged or tactical environments. Some embodiments may include: a flexible conductor configured to receive and/or emit electromagnetic radiation; a printed circuit board (PCB) configured to match characteristic impedances; and a connector configured to mate with another connector associated with a radio or amplifier, the PCB being potentially disposed within an interior portion of the connector of the antenna assembly.

A coaxial connector includes a base surface; a coaxial structure where a dielectric is between a central conductor and an outer conductor; and a protrusion protruding from the base surface. The central conductor includes a contact portion protruding from the base surface. In response to a substrate being inserted toward the base surface between the contact portion and the protrusion, the contact portion comes into contact with a conductor pattern formed on a surface of the substrate. The outer conductor includes a protruding conductor protruding from the base surface and not in contact with the substrate inserted between the contact portion and the protrusion.

An electrical plug-in connector for differential signal transmission, having an external conductor contact element, a dielectric and at least one internal conductor contact element pair for differential signal transmission. The dielectric extends along a longitudinal axis through the external conductor contact element. The internal conductor contact element pair has a first internal conductor contact element and a second internal conductor contact element which extend along the longitudinal axis through the dielectric. The external conductor contact element and/or the dielectric have a compensation geometry in order to compensate for an asymmetry of the internal conductor contact element pair with respect to the longitudinal axis. As an alternative or in addition, it is provided that the internal conductor contact element pair has a compensation geometry in order to compensate for an asymmetry of the external conductor contact element and/or of the dielectric with respect to the longitudinal axis.

A connector assembly for connecting a cable to an electrical component includes a plug unit and a mating plug unit, which each have an outer conductor element, an insulator element and an inner conductor element. The insulator element is disposed within the outer conductor element and includes an inner conductor channel in which the inner conductor element is disposed. The insulator element of the plug unit forms a plug profile that extends around the inner conductor channel and has at least one projection and/or depression. The insulator element of the mating plug unit forms a mating plug profile that corresponds to a negative of the plug profile. The plug unit and the mating plug unit are connectable to one another in such a way that the plug profile and the mating plug profile rest against each other, at least in some areas.

A connector includes: an internal contact disposed at an inner position in a radial direction; an external contact disposed at an outer position in the radial direction; and an insulator disposed between the internal and external contacts. At least one of the internal and external contacts includes, on one side in the axial direction, a mating part to be mated with a corresponding counterpart contact at a predetermined radial contact pressure. The insulator includes a first insulator part exposed to the one side in the axial direction, and a second insulator part disposed on the other side in the axial direction relative to the first insulator part. The first insulator part is made of an elastic material capable of being easily deformed elastically in the radial direction as compared to the second insulator part.

A connector assembly for connecting a cable to an electrical component includes an outer conductor sleeve and an insulator element. The outer conductor sleeve has an attachment portion and a plug portion. The insulator element is disposed within the outer conductor sleeve, at least partially in the plug portion. The cable is disposed with a cable end portion at least partially within the outer conductor sleeve in the attachment portion. The outer conductor sleeve has at least a first wall thickness region having a first wall thickness in the attachment portion and at least a second wall thickness region having a second wall thickness in the plug portion, the first wall thickness being greater than the second wall thickness. The insulator element is at least partially disposed in the second wall thickness region.

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 high frequency (HF) terminal for an HF connector includes an electromechanical contact section, a mechanical fastening section, an electromechanical connection section, and an HF compensation region apart from the electromechanical contact section. The HF compensation region is geometrically developed in such a way that a loss in a signal integrity of an HF plug-in connector including the HF connector with the HF terminal and an HF mating connector with an HF mating terminal in a final plugged-in position can be at least partially compensated by the HF compensation region.
