Right angle coaxial connector
First Claim
1. A coaxial connector plug for mechanically and electrically connecting a coaxial jack and a coaxial cable, said jack and said cable each having spaced apart inner and outer conductors separated by a dielectric member, comprising:
- a body portion having a first coupling section with a generally cylindrical inner surface adapted for receiving said coaxial jack and a second coupling section adapted for receiving said coaxial cable;
a generally tubular, coaxial jack receiving receptacle interface received within said first coupling section and adapted for mechanical and electrical connection to said coaxial jack outer conductor;
a generally tubular dielectric element received within said receptacle interface;
a center contact received within said dielectric element, said dielectric element providing electrical isolation between said receptacle interface and said center contact, said center compact adapted for mechanical and electrical connection to said coaxial jack inner conductor,said receptacle interface including a first set of multiple spring leaf barbs oriented generally radially outwardly from said receptacle interface for mechanical and electrical engagement of said receptacle interface with said first coupling section inner surface, and further including a second set of multiple spring leaf barbs oriented generally radially inwardly for mechanical engagement of said receptacle interface with said dielectric element.

Abstract
A minature right angle coaxial connector is provided that enables a coaxial cable to be connected to a standard SMB mating connector. A stamped and formed interface is housed in the connector that has outwardly oriented multiple spring leaf barbs for securing the interface to the inner surface of the connector, and inwardly oriented multiple spring leaf barbs that secure a dielectric to the interface. The unique nature of the multiple spring leaf barbs on the interface makes it possible to diecast, instead of machine, the connector housing parts, and eliminates the need for precious metal plating to ensure conductivity between parts.
