Abstract

A coaxial connector includes a body having a longitudinal axis passing through first and second opposed body ends, the second body end for engaging a male coaxial connector, within the body a coil spring, a connector center conductor, and a second body end insulator supporting the connector center conductor, and a spring for urging an electromagnetic shield to protrude from the body.

Claims (26)

1. A coaxial connector comprising:

a connector body having a longitudinal axis passing through first and second opposed body ends, the second body end for engaging a male coaxial cable connector;

a connector center conductor for transporting a signal through the connector;

a second body end insulator supports the connector center conductor;

a single coil spring that is coiled about the longitudinal axis and the second body end insulator;

one end of the coil spring immovable with respect to the body; and,

the coil spring urging an electromagnetic shield to protrude from the second body end.

2. The coaxial connector of claim 1 wherein the connector center conductor is non-tubular.

3. The coaxial connector of claim 2 wherein the spring is proximate the second body end.

4. The coaxial connector of claim 2 further comprising:

a connector center conductor insulator proximate the second body end; and,

wherein the connector center conductor and the insulator are stationary with respect to the connector body.

5. The connector of claim 1 wherein the center conductor is a fixed length center conductor.

6. The connector of claim 5 wherein the center conductor is within and does not extend beyond the connector body.

7. The connector of claim 5 further comprising:

a first insulator between the connector center conductor and the connector body; and,

wherein the insulator slidingly engages the center conductor.

8. The connector of claim 7 further comprising:

a second insulator between the center conductor and the connector body;

the second insulator spaced apart from the first insulator; and,

a distance between the first and second insulators being reduced when the male coaxial cable engages the connector body.

9. The coaxial connector of claim 1 wherein the connector center conductor has a portion between the center conductor ends that is tubular and a portion between the center conductor ends that is non-tubular.

10. The coaxial connector of claim 1 wherein the connector center conductor includes a conductor receiver with one end for receiving a removable conductor and an opposite end for receiving a bar.

11. The connector of claim 10 wherein the connector receiver includes opposed grasping elements in the form of canted planes adjoined along bend lines that are substantially perpendicular to a seizing conductor longitudinal axis.

12. The connector of claim 1 wherein the connector center conductor is made from a flat plate having an irregular outline, the flat plate having opposing ends that are folded to create receivers for removable conductors and a section joining the receivers that is not folded.

13. The connector of claim 1 wherein the connector center conductor is made from opposed flat plates of rectangular cross section, the plates in the form of canted planes and joined at a plate center such that at opposed extremities pockets are created for receiving removable center conductors.
