High performance coaxial connector
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A coaxial connector, comprising:
- a shell comprising a front cylindrical section and a collar having a rear edge adjacent the collar;
the front cylindrical section comprising slots configured to receive locking pins of a female connector;
a center conductor housing comprising a forward cylindrical section, a flange, and a crimp section disposed coaxially within the shell;
a gasket positioned between the shell and the flange;
a spring mechanism disposed between the flange and the rear rolled edgewherein the spring mechanism allows the center conductor housing axial movement within the shell; and
a dielectric disposed coaxially within the forward cylindrical section;
wherein the collar comprises tabs that are folded inward to form the rear edge that urges the spring mechanism toward the center conductor.
