Pin/socket, pin/pin triaxial interface contact assembly
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An interface contact assembly comprising:
- an inner contact;
an inner insulator concentrically surrounding the inner contact;
an intermediate contact concentrically surrounding the inner insulator;
first means arranged with the intermediate contact and the inner contact so that when the intermediate contact is staked the inner insulator is compressed into the inner contact to provide an initial assembly;
an outer insulator concentrically surrounding the intermediate contact;
an outer contact concentrically surrounding the outer insulator; and
second means arranged with the intermediate insulator so that when the outer contact is staked the outer insulator is compressed into the intermediate contact to provide a final assembly.

Abstract
A pin/socket, pin/pin triaxial interface contact assembly is disclosed which features a minimum number of contacts and insulators which are metal staked to form a contact assembly for mating with concentric twinaxial or triaxial contacts. The assembly is cost effective and withstands significantly high temperatures without degrading the assembly or the positioning of the several components thereof as would otherwise be the case.

6. An interface contact assembly, comprising:
-
an outer contact having inner and outer diameters; an outer insulator surrounded by the outer contact; an intermediate contact surrounded by the outer insulator and having inner and outer diameters; an inner insulator surrounded by the intermediate contact; an inner contact, surrounded by the inner insulator and having an outer diameter; the inner contact, the inner insulator and the intermediate contact disposed in concentric relation to each other; first means associated with the intermediate contact and the inner contact so that when the intermediate contact is staked a portion of the inner diameter thereof compresses the inner insulator into the inner contact to provide an initial assembly; the outer insulator and the outer contact being disposed in concentric relation to the initial assembly; and second means associated with the intermediate contact so that when the outer contact is staked a portion of the inner diameter thereof compresses the outer insulator into the intermediate contact to provide a final assembly. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

10. An interface contact assembly, comprising:
-
an outer contact having inner and outer diameters; an outer insulator surrounded by the outer contact; an intermediate contact surrounded by the outer insulator and having inner and outer diameters, and having an undercut on one section of its outer diameter and grooves on at least one end thereof; an inner insulator surrounded by the intermediate contact; an inner contact surrounded by the inner insulator, and having an outer diameter and ring grooves on said outer diameter; the inner contact, the inner insulator and the intermediate contact disposed in concentric relation to each other; the intermediate contact being staked at its undercut in the area of the inner contact ring grooves, whereby a portion of the inner diameter thereof compresses the inner insulator into said ring grooves to provide an initial assembly; the outer insulator and outer contact disposed in concentric relation to the initial assembly; and the outer contact being staked on its outer diameter in the area of the intermediate contact grooves, so that a portion of its inner diameter compresses the outer insulator into said grooves to provide the final assembly. - View Dependent Claims (11)
