First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for manufacturing a coaxial connector, comprising the steps of:
- separately forming a series of center contacts along a first carrier strip and a series of connector bodies along a second carrier strip each of said connector bodies having at least one slit and a longitudinal seam,assembling said series of center contacts together with corresponding dielectric slugs encircling said center contacts concentrically within said series of connector bodies to form a series of subassemblies,retaining said series of subassemblies along at least one of said carrier strips,conveying said series of subassemblies together with said at least one of said carrier strips to an assembly station where at each said subassembly is assembled to a coaxial cable and is separated from said at least one of said carrier strips, andcovering said at least one slit and said longitudinal seam of each connector body with a seamless ferrule.

Abstract
The disclosure relates to an assembly of stamped and formed parts for a coaxial connector with RF shielding ensured by a unitary ferrule intimately surrounding open seams in the stamped and formed parts. Also the disclosure relates to a blank which may be formed into a coaxial connector part having large diametrical transitions which ordinarily introduce RF attenuation but for the intimately surrounding unitary ferrule.
