Connector assembly for detachably connecting a printed wiring board to a coaxial transmission lines connector

摘要

A connector assembly for detachably connecting a coaxial transmission line connector to a strip lead formed on a printed wiring board is disclosed. The connector assembly includes a metallic housing to house a printed wiring board circuit having a micro-strip defined by a lead on one surface of the board and a ground plane on the other surface of the board. The housing includes a low-impedance, coaxial line section formed by an opening extending through one wall of the housing and a center conductor supported in the opening by a dielectric sleeve. A connector with a lead connected to the micro-strip lead and a body with a central insulated socket spaced from a ground plane on the surface of the board forms a transmission line section. The center conductor is slidably received in the socket, whereby the coaxial connector can be easily attached to connect the printed wiring board to the coaxial transmission line.
