Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coaxial connector socket according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the respective outer conductor For establishing a plug connection between a coaxial socket and a corresponding mating connector is known, the respective outer conductor to be designed as cylindrical sleeves, the sleeves for example together be screwed.
  • the floating bearing usually realized with springs, is the corresponding one Contact parts are complex and costly to manufacture.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a coaxial connector socket the above Way of creating which RF-tight and low loss is.
  • a safe, easy to manufacture, especially with the plug-in principle automatically forming coaxial connection is created, the coaxial connector being inexpensive and requiring few parts should.
  • the outer conductor contact socket on her the mating connector outer end facing a sleeve with a Axial slot provided wall the sleeve at this end Walls are compressed so that they one in the direction of the mating connector outer conductor have a tapered course and that on the Slit opposite wall sections at least partially overlap.
  • the shielding attenuation Due to the safe and closed contact formation of the outer conductor shielding attenuation even at high frequencies, such as 5 to 20 GHz and more, significantly improved.
  • the shielding attenuation also remains constant, even if the mating connector is not fully in the coaxial connector socket inserted or only inserted obliquely.
  • a particularly good and safe outer conductor contact can be achieved in that the diameter of the mating end of the sleeve is approximately the diameter of the mating connector outer conductor or is slightly smaller.
  • a tension-free and mechanically durable sleeve results from the fact that the Slot at its end facing away from the mating connector, in particular circular, widening.
  • the slot has a predetermined Distance to the end of the sleeve facing away from the mating connector.
  • the bushing adapter expediently has a housing which surrounds both coaxial connector sockets and with an outer conductor connection is provided between the two sleeves.
  • the housing is expediently formed in one piece, and it results a particularly inexpensive variant in that the housing in one piece Injection molding, preferably made of plastic.
  • the outer Scope is advantageously chamfered.
  • the outer conductor contact socket 10 shown in FIG. 1 has a sleeve 18 Walls 22 and a mating end 16.
  • a sleeve 18 is one from a right end of the outer conductor contact socket 10 in the figure circular recess 36 is formed, from which a slot 20th extends in the direction of the end 16 of the sleeve 18.
  • the walls 22 are at the end 16 compressed so that a conically tapering in the direction of the end 16 Course of the walls 22 results.
  • the walls also overlap 22 in an area 24.
  • the width of the slot 20 is shown in FIG. 1 for a clear illustration in the drawing and the size of the overlap area 24 is exaggerated.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate two successive manufacturing steps in the Production of the sleeve 18.
  • the state after the first step is shown in FIG. 2.
  • the sleeve 18 is formed and has a slot 20 with a circular extension 36 received. In this state, the walls 22 are in the region of the Slot 20 still parallel to each other.
  • a plug-in force and a holding force are thereby applied to the sleeve 18 imprinted that at the end 16 the walls 22 are compressed in this way be that the side walls 22 tapering towards the end 16 run and at least partially in the area 24 of the slot 20 at the end 16 overlap.
  • insertion and holding forces do not act as in known ones Plug connections with spring cage, radial, but along the circumference the sleeve 18.
  • the holding forces are therefore not discrete on certain contact points limited but are evenly and continuously distributed around the circumference of the outer conductor contact around.
  • the outer conductor contact itself is thus when plugged in a mating connector in the sleeve 18 shown in FIG. 3 insensitive against mechanical insertion errors, e.g. not fully inserted or immersed mating connector or mating connector inserted at an angle.
  • the configuration of the outer conductor contact socket 10 according to FIGS. 1-3 with a Bund 44 is an exemplary embodiment.
  • the bushing adapter 26 shown in FIG. 4 is used for carrying out a Coaxial connection through a wall 28 and has outer conductor contact sockets on both sides 10 with respective sleeves 18, as described above. Also includes the bushing adapter 26 an inner conductor 40, a housing 30 which a Establishes contact connection 32 between the two outer conductor contact sockets 10, Insulating parts 42, centering ring 34 and a locking ring 38.
  • Such an arrangement is for example in one Slide-in frame used for slide-in devices, being in the figure from the right and Devices are inserted into such a frame from the left and on the corresponding ones Set mating connector, each when inserting the Engage devices in the frame in the outer conductor contact sockets 10.
  • the Bushing adapter 26 is, as can be seen from FIG. 4, on the wall 28 floating, with appropriate play, stored and with a locking ring 38 secured.
  • Fig. 5 is an analogous representation to Fig. 4, here on both sides in the bushing adapter 26 mating connector 12 of inserted devices, not shown are inserted.
  • the mating connector 12 shown on the left in FIG. 5 is complete inserted into the outer conductor contact socket 10, and its outer conductor 14 contacts the inner end face of the outer conductor contact socket on its end face 10th
  • the external conductor contact takes place here where the end face of the sleeve 18 by the spring action due to the slot-like Training (not visible in Fig. 5) rests on the outer conductor 14. in this connection 5 that the point of contact with the sleeve 18 is independent of this is how far the mating connector 12 is pushed in and possibly opposite the Bushing adapter 26 is tilted. It follows within certain tolerances namely always on the face of the sleeve 18 around the circumference of the mating connector outer conductor closed and secure contact area.
  • Mating connector 12 mating errors due to misalignment between Bushing adapter 26 and mating connector 12, due to tilting between these components and / or because of a not fully immersed Mating connector 12 can be effectively compensated.
  • the electrical properties the plug connection via the lead-through adapter described 26 are not or hardly influenced by such errors. This improves significantly in particular the high frequency behavior and the susceptibility to interference of this connector.
  • the dimensions of the bushing adapter 26 and the play of the floating Storage in the wall 28 are advantageously chosen so that the Transmission properties, such as shielding attenuation and the like, up to incorrect immersion of the mating connector 12 remain constant of 0.85 mm. With others Words, the dimensions and the floating bearing are chosen so that no incorrect immersion over 0.85 mm can occur.
  • the slot 20 and the corresponding compressed walls 22 am End 16 of the sleeve 18 act as one when inserting a mating connector 12 Iris diaphragm and press themselves continuously around the outer conductor 14 the mating connector 12 around, so that around the circumference of the outer conductor 14 a continuous contact surface is formed.
  • the overlapping Area 24 is as short as possible, so that the outer shape the sleeve 18 does not deviate very much from a cylindrical shape. Furthermore are a short slot 20 and a short sleeve 18 are preferred.
