Multi-Position Coaxial Connector System
First Claim
1. A connector system comprising:
- a plug including the following;
a D-sub housing having a front surface, said housing being sized no larger than size five;
two rows of eight RF coaxial contacts extending from said front surface of said D-sub housing, each of said RF coaxial contacts including a center contact portion, each of said RF coaxial contacts having a closed entry configuration;
a receptacle including the following;
a D-sub housing having a front surface including two rows of eight openings therein, said D-sub housing being sized no larger than size five; and
a receptacle contact positioned in each of said eight openings, each of said receptacle contacts being configured to mate with one of said RF coaxial contacts via said closed entry configuration, each of said receptacle contacts having first and second sections, said receptacle contacts being positioned so that at least a portion of said first section is positioned in said D-sub housing;
wherein said plug and receptacle are configured to provide about a 50-Ohm impedance across said system and said plug and receptacle are configured to operate under a ground-first condition.
