Abstract

High retention coaxial connector, comprising: the body which consists of an annular collar, the annular collar in turn incorporates an annular toggle and a first contact spring, a coupling which consists of an annular collar and a second contact spring. The connector on the whole together with the coupling will compel both the first contact spring and the second contact spring into forming a wavy, elastic clamping means against the central conductor and the aluminum shield of the coaxial cable being worked with, at the final lockup position.

Claims

1. High retention coaxial connector, serving to connect electromechanically a running length of coaxial cable to a distributor or to a clutch, the coaxial cable comprising:

a central conductor, aluminum shielding, insulators, and outlying coating;

whereas the coupling means comprisese;

the connector as a whole, the body, serving to accept the coaxial cable coaxially;

the coupling assembly with one end accommodating for coupling with the connector as a whole, and the other end thereof attached to said distributor or clutch; and

,

an annular collar, serving to bring the coaxial cable united to the connector as a whole by a high retention force, and comprising;

a toggle and a first contact spring, coaxially arranged in said toggle, such that once both the connector as a whole and the coupling assembly run through to the last lockup position, the first contact spring, compressed radially by the annular collar, will exhibit a flexibly applied but rigorous clamping effect upon the aluminum shielding of the cable, and that sufficient to assure a prolonged, reliable electric conduction.

2. High retention coaxial connector according to claim 1, whereof said first contact spring is preferably composed of a number of annular ring connected serially and having a coulisse formed thereon to facilitate radial deformation of the first contact spring, duly contracted to a wavy pattern when receiving radial impact coming from said toggle, so as to account for a flexibly applied compression clamping against the said aluminum shielding.

3. High retention coaxial connector according to claim 1, whereof the connector as a whole further comprises an annular collar and a contact unit, the annular collar being connected by a high retention force to the central conductor of the coaxial cable and further incorporating a toggle and a second contact spring that is coaxially arranged in said toggle such that once both the connector as a whole and the coupling assembly are locked up to a final lockup position, the second contact spring by reason of receiving a radial compression imposed by the toggle on course will exhibit a flexibly applied rigorous clamping effect upon the central conductor of the cable, to thereby compel the central conductor into electromechanical bonding with contact unit, and that sufficient to warrant a long standing reliable electric conduction.

4. High retention coaxial-connector according to claim 1, whereof said second contact spring is preferably composed of a number of rings connected serially on top of which is formed a coulisse which is functional in subserving to the presentation of a wavy pattern as the second contact spring is compressed by the functioning toggle in the radial orientation to thereby exerting a flexibly applied rigorous clamping effect upon the central conductor that forms part of the coaxial cable that is being worked with all the while.
