Transmission line and connector, where the transmission line includes holding pins extending through an inner conductor

摘要

A RF connector assembly, suitable for millimeter waves comprises a housing, holding a transmission line and a RF connector. The transmission line has a band conductor held in an outer conductor. The band conductor is supported by a plurality of holding pins. The holding pins are fixed by holes in the outer conductor and penetrate the inner conductor through holes therein. The holding pins are injection molded parts made of plastic. They comprise of two sections which can be connected together by a plug and socket connection. One end of the transmission line has a printed circuit board contact for contacting a strip line, while the other end of the transmission line has a contact for connecting the inner conductor of the RF connector.
