摘要:
An inner conductor cap, with a connector end and a cable end, is provided with an inner conductor socket at the cable end and an inner conductor interface at the connector end. The inner conductor socket may be dimensioned to mate with a prepared end of an inner conductor of a coaxial cable. At least one material gap may be provided between a sidewall of the inner conductor socket and an outer diameter surface of the prepared end when the inner conductor cap is mated with the prepared end. A rotation key may be provided for rotating the inner conductor cap.

A hybrid stripline RF transmission cable has a generally flat inner conductor surrounded by a dielectric layer that is surrounded by an outer conductor. Additional conductors may be applied within the dielectric layer and/or within a jacket surrounding the outer conductor. The additional conductors may be, for example, power, data and/or optical conductors.

A coaxial connector for interconnection with a coaxial cable with a solid outer conductor by ultrasonic welding is provided with a monolithic connector body with a bore. An annular flare seat is angled radially outward from the bore toward a connector end of the connector, the annular flare seat open to the connector end of the connector. An inner conductor cap is provided for interconnection with an inner conductor of the coaxial cable by ultrasonic welding. The ultrasonic welding of each of the inner and outer conductor interconnections may be performed via inner conductor and outer conductor sonotrodes which are coaxial with one another, without requiring the cable and or connector to be removed from their fixture.

A coaxial connector for interconnection with a coaxial cable with a solid outer conductor by friction welding is provided with a monolithic connector body with a bore. A sidewall of the bore is provided with an inward annular projection angled toward a cable end of the bore. A sidewall of the inward annular projection and the sidewall of the bore form an annular friction groove open to a cable end of the bore. The annular friction groove is dimensioned with a taper at a connector end of the friction groove less than a thickness of a leading end of the outer conductor. The taper provides an annular material chamber between the leading end of the outer conductor, when seated in the friction groove, and the connector end of the friction groove.

A coaxial connector for interconnection with a coaxial cable with a solid outer conductor by laser welding is provided with a monolithic connector body with a bore. A sidewall of the bore is provided with an inward annular projection angled toward a cable end of the bore. A sidewall of the inward annular projection and the sidewall of the bore form an annular laser groove open to a cable end of the bore. The annular laser groove is dimensioned with a taper at a connector end of the laser groove less than a thickness of a leading end of the outer conductor. The taper provides an annular material chamber between the leading end of the outer conductor, when seated in the laser groove, and the connector end of the laser groove.

An electrical connector interface has a male portion and a female portion. The male portion provided with at least three outer diameter radial projecting connector tabs and a conical outer diameter seat surface at an interface end. A lock ring provided with a stop shoulder and at least three radial inward coupling tabs at the interface end seats around the male portion, the stop shoulder abutting the connector tabs, a tab seat provided between the coupling tabs and the stop shoulder. The female portion provided with at least three outer diameter radial projecting base tabs and an annular groove open to the interface end with an outer sidewall dimensioned to mate with the conical outer diameter seat surface. The base tabs engage the coupling tabs when the lock ring is rotated to insert the base tabs into the tab seat, retaining the outer diameter seat surface against the outer sidewall.

A spin weld apparatus for spin welding a prepared end of a coaxial cable with a coaxial connector includes a cable clamp dimensioned to grip the coaxial cable and a drive collet dimensioned to enclose and rotationally interlock with a lateral surface of the coaxial connector. The drive collet is dimensioned to rotationally interlock with an interlocking portion of a spin welder. The spin welder is dimensioned to axially align the coaxial connector with the coaxial cable for spin welding when the drive collet is rotationally interlocked with the spin welder.

A coaxial cable connector formed via multi-shot injection molding has a body formed by multiple injection molding layers of different injection moldable materials about a central inner contact to form an integral connector body. The connector body is provided with a coaxial dielectric spacer of dielectric polymer surrounding the inner contact; a coaxial inner body of injection molded metal composition surrounding an outer diameter of the dielectric spacer; and an outer body of polymer surrounding the inner body. Interlock features provide axial and/or rotational interlock between the layers of the connector.

An impedance adapter with body and cap portions coupled together encloses a cavity with a printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB is provided with a trace on a first side and a ground plane on a second side. The trace is coupled to a first contact at a first end of the PCB and a second contact at a second end of the PCB. The trace has a sinuous path between the first contact and the second contact, the path longer than a longitudinal axis length of the PCB. The first and second contacts are supported coaxial within the inner conductor bore of the respective cap portion and body portion by first and second end insulators. The ground plane coupled to the body portion and the cap portion. A method of manufacture for the adapter includes steps of pre-assembling the PCB, contacts and insulators before insertion into the cavity.
