    摘要: A high-frequency filter with a coaxial design has at least one resonator with a first inner conductor and an outer conductor housing. The outer conductor housing comprises a housing base, a housing cover which is arranged at a distance from the housing base, and a peripheral housing wall between the housing base and the housing cover. The first inner conductor is galvanically connected to the housing base and extends axially from the housing base in the direction of the housing cover. The resonator comprises a second internal conductor which is galvanically connected to the housing cover and extends axially from the housing cover in the direction of the housing base. The first and/or second inner conductor has an inner conductor bore, and a tuning element is arranged in one inner conductor bore in a thread-free axially movable manner. The tuning element is arranged in a sleeve or bushing and optionally or in addition thereto has an enlarged elastic region.

    摘要: An anti-kink protection assembly is proposed that is configured for being situated on a connector housing that is mounted on a cable for anti-kink protection, comprising a cylindrical base part that is formed in one piece from a top part and a bottom part. The bottom part includes multiple locking arms that are separated from one another by a distance in the radial direction, and locking tabs are in each case situated on the lower end areas of the locking arms facing away from the top part, in the direction of the inner area of the cylindrical base part. The bottom part has a defined internal cross section in the area of the locking arms without the locking tabs. Tt least one upper end element is situated at the upper outer edge of the top part facing away from the locking arms. In addition, the anti-kink protection assembly includes a ring that is configured for being pushed over the bottom part of the base part onto the top part in a preassembly step, and for abutting against the at least one upper end element, and in a final assembly step, being pushed in the opposite direction with respect to the preassembly step, from the top part in the direction of the bottom part, until reaching the lower end areas of the locking arms.

    摘要: A multiplex filter has at least n filter chambers which are surrounded by a housing and/or at least one insert positioned in the housing. A metal dividing device is constructed in each of the n filter chambers, dividing each filter chamber into m resonator chambers, wherein m≥2. The resonator chambers are coupled perpendicular to the H fields and/or parallel to the central axis or with a component essentially perpendicular to the H fields and/or parallel to the central axis. A common connection is guided into the first filter chamber via a first opening in the housing, and is coupled in the same to the m resonators of the m resonator chambers. As a result of the fact that the coupling is established perpendicular to the H field, the resonator can have a very compact construction.

    摘要: A plug connector has an outer conductor socket to receive a coaxial cable. An inner conductor receiving element receives an inner conductor of the coaxial cable and is arranged in a centered manner within the outer conductor socket. The outer conductor socket has at least one contact-making area which makes electrical contact with an outer conductor of the coaxial cable. At least one separating element is arranged within the outer conductor socket in such a way that making electrical contact with the end of the outer conductor of a coaxial cable that can be or is inserted into the outer conductor socket and the outer conductor socket is prevented or suppressed. In the plugged-in state, the contact-making area is arranged in the outer conductor socket in such a way that electrical contact can be or is made radially with the circumferential wall adjoining the end.
