CONSTANT IMPEDANCE BULLET CONNECTOR FOR A SEMI-RIGID COAXIAL CABLE

摘要

A connector or first plug (100) is provided for receiving a mating plug or second Plug (10), forming a constant impedance connection. The center conductor (16) of the first plug (10) is supported for enhanced structural integrity with a cap (32) attached over a portion of the center conductor (16) that extends beyond the outer conductor portion (24) of the same plug. The constant impedance connection consists of the two plugs (30) partially or fully engaged. The mating plug (10) has an outer conductor (34) that projects beyond the inner conductor (22), and is made to receive the connector or first plug (100) portions. Once engaged, the connector and mating plug (10) have mating dimensions that satisfy an impedance equality expression for a relationship between the inner conductor cap's outer diameter (34), the outer conductor's inner diameter (22), and the dielectric constant.
