A coaxial RF connector has a screen 12 that is made as a single element, and a non-conductive housing 2 so that the transmission path is insulated from the mechanical connection features. This gives an improved transmission path and reduces Passive Inter Modulation (PIM). The screen (or WaveWay) may have an undulating shape, may have a conical end to mate more easily with its counterpart, and may be made from two clamshells (see Fig 8). The connector may include hydrophobic matter to seal against fluid ingress. |
