Coaxial connector with ingress reduction shielding
A coaxial connector with an F female end shield is configured to restrict RF ingress.
1. A coaxial connector comprising:
a metallic waveguide that shields the internals of a connector body from the ingress of radio frequency signals;
a waveguide aperture having a diameter less than or equal to 3.5 mm;
a stationary first electrical insulator for covering a waveguide surface otherwise subject to contact by the mating connector center conductor during its alignment with and insertion in the waveguide aperture;
a first electrical insulator through hole having a diameter greater than an outer diameter of the mating connector center conductor; and,
the mating connector center conductor for passing through the first electrical insulator through hole and the waveguide aperture.
2. The coaxial connector of claim 1 further comprising a metallic center pin within the body for receiving the mating connector center conductor.
3. The coaxial connector of claim 1 wherein the connector is an F-Type connector.
4. The coaxial connector of claim 1 wherein the waveguide aperture diameter is “d” mm and 2.6≤d≤3.5.
5. The coaxial connector of claim 1 wherein the waveguide aperture diameter is less than or equal to 2.0 mm.
6. The coaxial connector of claim 1 wherein the waveguide aperture diameter is “d” mm and 1.5≤d≤2.0.
7. The coaxial connector of claim 1 wherein the waveguide aperture diameter is less than or equal to 3.0 mm.
8. The coaxial connector of claim 7 wherein the connector is an F-Type connector.
9. The coaxial connector of claim 8 wherein the wave guide aperture diameter is “d” mm and 2.0≤d≤3.0.
