Device for connecting a coaxial cable to a printed circuit card
First Claim
1. A connection device for connecting a coaxial cable to a printed circuit card, the device comprising:
- a tubular socket suitable for fixing to the card; and
a plug suitable for being mounted at the end of a coaxial cable, said plug comprising a tubular plug body and a central contact for connection to the central conductor of the cable, the socket and the plug being arranged so that the plug can be inserted into the socket in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the printed circuit card, wherein the socket comprises a resilient portion suitable for urging the plug body towards the printed circuit card along said direction so as to hold the central contact of the plug pressed against a conductive track of the printed circuit card.

18. A method of connecting a coaxial cable to a printed circuit card in a direction perpendicular to the plane of said card, the method comprising the following steps:
-
mounting a socket on the printed circuit card, e.g. by soldering, the socket including a resilient portion;
mounting one end of the coaxial cable on a plug comprising a plug body and a central contact, by connecting the central conductor of the cable to said central contact and by connecting the outer conductor of the cable to the plug body, e.g. by soldering or by crimping; and
mounting the plug body in the socket in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the printed circuit card, the resilient portion of the socket deforming during said mounting and at the end thereof exerting a force that is directed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the printed circuit card so as to hold the central contact of the plug against a conductive track of the card.
