    摘要: A spring-loaded interconnect includes a forward interconnect subassembly and a rearward interconnect subassembly with a flexible cable extending between each subassembly. The flexible cable includes a plurality of curved sections, and a plurality of substantially straight sections integral with the plurality of curved sections. The plurality of curved sections and the plurality of substantially straight sections are pre-configured within the spring-loaded interconnect such that the flexible cable and a spring compress, relax, and axially travel a predetermined distance when at least one external load is applied to at least one end of the spring-loaded interconnect.

    摘要: An integrated connector-antenna assembly is provided, wherein an antenna is monolithically integrated with a radio frequency (RF) connector housing. The connector-antenna assembly may also include the RF signal element, wherein the connector center pin is monolithically integrated to the connector housing. Although part of the connector-antenna assembly, the connector housing and connector signal element still serve the connector function, which is essentially a channel for RF signal from the RF signal source to the antenna.

    摘要: Connectors and connector assemblies for attaching connectors to one or more cables and/or conduits are disclosed. The disclosed connectors and methods may secure an outer surface of the cable (e.g., an outer jacket of a cable) or conduit. A connector, for example, may include a female port with a port body, having a first port end configured to mate with a male element, a second port end opposing the first port, and a neck disposed between the first port end and the second port end, wherein the second port end engages with a cable gripper element such that a gap for positing the outer conductor layer is formed between opposing surfaces of the second port end and a surface of the cable gripper element.

    摘要: Connectors and methods for attaching connectors to one or more cables and/or conduits are disclosed. In one example, a coaxial cable connector for connecting a coaxial cable comprising an inner conductor, an insulator layer surrounding the inner conductor, an outer conductor layer surrounding the insulator layer and an outer jacket is provided. The coaxial cable connector includes a front body comprising an opening for receiving at least a portion of a coaxial cable. The front body includes a plurality of rearward facing projections. A back nut sub-assembly includes a back nut and a retainer coupled to the back nut. The back nut is adapted to couple to the front body and the retainer is adapted to receive a least a portion of the coaxial cable. The retainer includes a plurality of forward facing protrusions adapted to engage the plurality of rearward facing protrusions when the back nut is coupled to the front body.

    摘要: A stripping tool includes and body portion and a clamping arm. The stripping tool further includes a stripping blade having a blade edge. The stripping blade extends from the body portion, and the blade edge is offset from the clamping arm at a distance d such that the blade edge enters the insulator layer of the coaxial cable when the coaxial cable is positioned between the clamping arm and the body portion. The stripping tool further includes a retention element disposed at the body portion at a position after the stripping blade along a cable insertion direction. The retention element is positioned to contact the outer layer of an end portion of the coaxial cable when the coaxial cable is positioned between the clamping arm and the body portion and the stripping tool is in the closed position.
