RF terminator
First Claim
1. A coaxial terminator for securing and terminating a coaxial equipment port of an equipment box, the coaxial equipment port being of the type having a female center conductor adapted to receive a center conductor of a coaxial connector, the coaxial equipment port also being of the type including an externally threaded outer conductor surrounding the female center conductor and spaced apart therefrom by a dielectric, the coaxial terminator comprising:
- a housing having first and second opposing ends, the first end of the housing having a central bore, and the first end of the housing including an internally threaded region to threadedly engage the outer conductor of the coaxial equipment port through rotation of the housing relative to the coaxial equipment port; and
an impedance match element mounted within said housing, said impedance match element comprising;
a central conductive pin having first and second opposing ends;
a supportive element; and
a resistor having first and second opposing ends, wherein the resistor is in electrical communication with the central conductive pin and wherein the resistor longitudinally extends in a direction that is not coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the central conductive pin;
wherein said supportive element comprises a first area of conductive material in electrical and mechanical communication with said central conductive pin and a second area of conductive material in electrical and mechanical communication with said housing wherein said first area of conductive material and said second area of conductive material are in electrical and mechanical communication with said resistor.
