<p>CONNECTOR FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC IMPULSE SUPPRESSION A connector is provided for the suppression of electromagnetic impulses traveling along a radio frequency cable. Paired first and second electrical connectors are provided for being operatively interposed along the signal cable. A spacer or mounting device is provided for electrically coupling the primary conductors and secondary conductors of one connector to their counterparts in the other paired connector. discharge device or tube having a known breakdown voltage and a known capacitance is coupled between the first and second conductors. The inductance of the elements comprising the mounting device is determined such that this inductance interacts with the capacitance of the discharge device and other stray capacitance of the combination thereof in order to produce a desired characteristic impedance, which is generally preferred to be equal to the characteristic impedance of the radio frequency signal cable, whereby the suppressor will dissipate electrical surges while representing a low standing wave ratio to radio frequency energy being transmitted along the radio frequency signal cable.</p> |
