First Claim
Patent Images
1. A 75 ohm MCX coaxial connector jack comprising:
- a jack base insulator extending between a female center pin and a jack outer shell;
a multipurpose metal pin cap fitted to apin contact of the female center pin;
the pin cap operable to protect the female pin contact when an attempt is made to insert a misaligned MCX coaxial connector plug into the jack, a guide-way to the female pin contact;
the guide-way including a substantially conically shaped pin cap mouth;
the pin cap mouth operable to guide the pin contact of a male center pin of a misaligned MCX coaxial connector plug into the female pin contact;
one or more pin cap sidewalls radially outward of tines of the female pin contact;
the pin cap sidewalls operable to resist forces tending to bend the female pin contact tines when the attempt is made to insert the misaligned MCX coaxial connector plug into the jack;
one or more pin cap sidewalls of sufficient length to transfer forces imposed on the pin cap mouth to a portion of the female center pin that is beyond the female pin contact tines and substantially adjacent to the jack base insulator; and
,the jack having a slotted pin cap sidewall.
