<p>A self-aligning push-on coaxial RF connector assembly is disclosed. The male structure (80) of the assembly includes a cross-slotted center conductor (82) with a dielectric sleeve (84). The female structure (60) of the assembly includes a feed-through device (62) having a center conductor pin (64), a primary counterbored hole (66) to the base of the feed-through (62), and a larger secondary pilot counterbored hole (68) with a lead-in angle of about 15 DEG to the primary hole (66). The larger pilot hole (68) allows for a substantial radial misalignment of the male and female structures (60, 80). The center conductor pin (64) is captured by the cross-slotted center conductor (82) upon engagement. The dimensions of the assembly components are selected to provide a constant characteristic impedance throughout the connector assembly.</p> |
