High frequency right angle connector

摘要

A high frequency, right angle socket ( 10 ) comprising a body ( 12 ) including a longitudinal bore ( 14 ) extending completely through the body ( 12 ) and a transverse bore ( 16 ) intersecting the longitudinal bore ( 14 ). The bores ( 14 ) and ( 16 ) are seem most clearly in FIG. 5. A first dielectric ( 18 ) is formed to frictionally engage the longitudinal bore ( 14 ). The dielectric ( 18 ) has a proximal end ( 26 ) and a distal end ( 22 ) and includes a longitudinal electric contact-receiving chamber ( 24 ). A right angle electrical contact ( 26 ) has a longitudinal portion ( 28 ) and a transverse portion ( 30 ). The longitudinal portion ( 28 ) includes a first contact retainer ( 32 ). The transverse portion ( 30 ) includes a contact retainer ( 33 ). The longitudinal portion ( 28 ) is fitted into the longitudinal electrical contact-receiving chamber ( 24 ) of the first dielectric ( 18 ) with the contact retainer ( 32 ) on the longitudinal portion ( 28 ) engaging the interior wall of the longitudinal contact-receiving chamber ( 24 ). A second dielectric ( 34 ) is formed to frictionally engage the transverse bore ( 16 ) and includes a transverse electrical contact-receiving ( 36 ). The transverse portion ( 30 ) of the right angle electrical contact ( 26 ) is fitted into the transverse electrical contact-receiving chamber ( 36 ) with the contact retainer ( 33 ) on the transverse portion ( 30 ) engaging the interior wall of the transverse electrical contact-receiving chamber ( 36 ). A cap ( 38 ) closes one end of the longitudinal bore ( 14 ).
