Interconnections for axial cables

摘要

Cable interconnection terminated by a pin or socket includes a housing, an inner conductor arranged in the housing and having a first end adapted to couple to the pin or socket, and an outer sheath adapted to couple to an outer sheath of a cable including at least one conductor, e.g., a coaxial cable, twin-axial cable or tri-axial cable. The interconnection also includes first and second pins. The first pin is arranged at a second end of the inner conductor while the second pin is electrically connected to the outer sheath. The first and second pins each have a mating portion, and both mating portions terminate at a common plane a set distance from the housing. This termination in a common plane, substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the pins, enables the cable to mate with a wide range of electronic componentry.

主权项

1. An interconnection terminated by an electrical contact that enables the interconnection to mate with an electronic component receivable of a 0.1 inch header termination, comprising:
a housing; an inner conductor at least partly arranged in said housing and having a first end adapted to couple to an electrical contact and a second end; an outer sheath around said inner conductor; electrical insulating material arranged in said housing between said inner conductor and said outer sheath; and first and second elongate pins, said first pin being arranged at said second end of said inner conductor, said second pin being electrically connected to said outer sheath, said first and second pins each having a mating portion having a uniform cross-sectional shape,
said mating portions being parallel to one another,said mating portion of said first pin being spaced apart from said mating portion of said second pin such that a distance between a center of said mating portion of said first pin and a center of said mating portion of said second pin is 0.1 inch, andsaid mating portions both terminating at a common termination plane that is a set and the same distance from said housing such that the interconnection terminated by the electrical contact is configured to mate with an electronic component receivable of a 0.1 inch header termination.
