Abstract

Claims (10)

1. A method for manufacturing a strain relief for a coaxial cable and coaxial connector interconnection, comprising:

injection molding a polymer material around the interconnection;

the injection moldable material filling a solder pre-form cavity between an outer conductor of the coaxial cable and an inner diameter of a bore of the connector body.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polymer material is a polyamide material.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the injection moldable material is applied during the injection molding at a temperature between 200 and 240 degrees Celsius.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the injection molding is performed with an injection pressure between 5 and 40 bar.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the strain relief is formed with an extended cable portion; an outer diameter of the extended cable portion provided with a plurality of stress relief control grooves.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the stress relief control grooves are generally elliptical, with a major axis of the stress relief control grooves arranged normal to a longitudinal axis of the coaxial connector.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the extended cable portion extends along the coaxial cable a distance greater than three diameters of the coaxial cable.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the strain relief surrounding the coaxial connector is seated upon a strain relief portion of a unitary connector body of the coaxial connector.
