Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an external device-to-external device connector for wireless communication devices, which is configured to electrically connect two spaced external devices together, and comprises two interface members and a coupling member. The inner conductor part and the insulation part of the coupling member are held together by the concave-convex fitting parts opposite to each other, and there is a first gap between the concave-convex fitting part of the inner conductor part and that of the insulation part, which allows the inner conductor part to have radial displacement relative to the insulation part; or, the outer conductor part and the insulating part of the coupling member are held together by the concave-convex fitting parts opposite to each other, and there is a second gap between the concave-convex fitting part of the outer conductor part and that of the insulating part, which allows radial displacement of the insulating part relative to the outer conductor part. The external device-to-external device connector can achieve satisfactory RL and PIM performance.

Abstract: An assembly includes a coaxial male connector and a coaxial female connector. The coaxial male connector includes: an inner contact; a monolithic outer body having a plurality of spring fingers and a shoulder that is located radially outward of the spring fingers; a dielectric spacer disposed between the inner contact and the outer body such that the outer body is coaxial with the inner contact; and a coupling nut that at least partially overlies the outer body. The coaxial connector includes: an inner contact having a plurality of spring fingers mated with the spring fingers of the inner contact of the male connector; an outer body having an inner surface and a contact surface at one end, the contact surface contacting the shoulder of the outer body of the male connector; and a dielectric spacer disposed between the inner contact and the outer body such that the outer body is coaxial with the inner contact, the spacer being configured so that a gap is present between an outer surface of the spacer and the inner surface of the outer body. The spring fingers of the outer body of the male connector contact the inner surface of the outer body and apply radial pressure thereto.

Abstract: A coaxial connector comprises an outer conductor, an inner conductor, and a dielectric spacer disposed between the outer conductor and the inner conductor. The outer conductor includes a first outer conductor component and a second outer conductor component configured to be floatable axially and radially relative to the first outer conductor component. The inner conductor includes a first inner conductor component and a second inner conductor component configured to be floatable axially and radially relative to the first inner conductor component. The coaxial connector further includes a first elastic element disposed around an outer circumference of the proximal portion of the second outer conductor component, and a second elastic element disposed in the cavity of the first inner conductor component. The coaxial connector is self-adaptive for the mating, and is particularly suitable for board-to-board connector assemblies and may ensure a high return loss performance and good PIM characteristics.
