Abstract

A coaxial connector with an F female end shield is configured to restrict RF ingress.

Claims

1. A coaxial connector comprising:

a metallic waveguide that shields the internals of a connector body from the ingress of radio frequency signals;

a waveguide aperture having a diameter less than or equal to 3.5 mm;

a stationary first electrical insulator for covering a waveguide surface otherwise subject to contact by the mating connector center conductor during its alignment with and insertion in the waveguide aperture;

a first electrical insulator through hole having a diameter greater than an outer diameter of the mating connector center conductor; and

,

the mating connector center conductor for passing through the first electrical insulator through hole and the waveguide aperture.

2. The coaxial connector of claim 1 further comprising a metallic center pin within the body for receiving the mating connector center conductor.

3. The coaxial connector of claim 1 wherein the connector is an F-Type connector.

4. The coaxial connector of claim 1 wherein the waveguide aperture diameter is “
