Claims
- 1. A coaxial connector, comprising:
- matable plug and jack connector members;
- said plug connector member including an inner shell member, an outer shell member and a dielectric member carrying a center contact member, said inner shell member having a large diameter section and a small diameter section, said dielectric member being secured within said large diameter section, said center contact member having a bore to receive an exposed end of a center conductor of a coaxial cable therein while an exposed outer conductor of the coaxial cable is positioned onto said small diameter section, said center contact member being crimpable onto the center conductor end, said outer shell member having a larger diameter section and a smaller diameter section, said larger diameter section extending along said large diameter section and said smaller diameter section extending along said small diameter section and being crimpable onto said small diameter section connecting the outer conductor therebetween, said larger diameter section having a hood section including an internal latching groove, said hood section extending coaxially with respect to a pin contact section of said center contact member;
- said jack connector member including a shell means and a dielectric means carrying a center contact means, said shell means having bore means in which cylindrical section means of said dielectric means is disposed and secured therein, spring contact members extending outwardly from said shell means and being spaced from and coaxial with respect to said dielectric means as they extend therealong, free ends of said spring contact members having radiussed projections, said dielectric means having a passageway therethrough in which a receptacle section of said center contact means is secured;
- said center contact member of the plug connector member extends along said passageway of said dielectric means so that said pin contact section electrically connects with said receptacle section and said radiussed projections of said spring contact members of the jack connector member are disposed in said internal latching groove forming an electrical connection therebetween and latching said plug and jack connector members when mated with each other.
- 2. A coaxial connector as set forth in claim 1, wherein said shell means has a securing section including a serrated surface to be disposed in a hole in a ground plane making electrical and mechanical connection therewith and a flange to limit movement of the securing section in the hole.
- 3. A coaxial connector as set forth in claim 1, wherein said dielectric means has an annular flange at a front end, said annular flange including a tapered surface to guide the mating of the plug and jack connector members.
- 4. A coaxial connector as set forth in claim 1, wherein said smaller diameter section of said outer shell member will extend along a portion of an outer insulating jacket of the coaxial cable when the smaller diameter section is crimped onto said small diameter section of said inner shell member to provide a strain relief for the coaxial cable.
- 5. A coaxial connector as set forth in claim 1, wherein said shell means has an inwardly-directed flange means disposed in groove means in said dielectric means securing said dielectric means in said shell means.
