Abstract:
Contact device for high-frequency cables, said contact device comprising a front member (11) and a rear member (10), whereby said rear member (10) is adapted for mounting on a high-frequency cable (1) and whereby said front member (11) is adapted for being brought in contact with an outer conductor (3) and an inner conductor (5) of the high-frequency cable (1) for transmission of high-frequency signals from the outer and inner conductor (3, 5) to the front member (11), characterized in,that the front member (11) and the rear member (10) are joined together to a connector unit (42) in which said front member (11) is situated in its ready position (P) relative to said rear member (10), whereby said connector unit (42) can be mounted on the high-frequency cable (1) such that said high-frequency cable (1) protrudes into the rear member (10),that the front member (11) is displaceably or movably mounted relative to said rear member (10) from the ready position (P) to its operating position (T),that the rear member (10) comprises at least one locking device (19) for locking said rear member (10) relative to the high-frequency cable (1) when said cable (1) protrudes into said rear member (10),that the front member (11) comprises at least one forming and contact section (30) which, when said front member (11) is displaced or moved from its said ready position (P) towards its said operating position (T), is provided to contact an outer collar (9) of the outer conductor (3) of the high-frequency cable (1) such that said outer collar (9) gains contact with the forming and contact section (30), andthat the front member (11) further comprises at least one displacement section (33) which is provided to displace or move at least one retaining means (27) from a ready position (E) to its operating position (F) in which said retaining means (27) retains the outer collar (9) of the outer conductor (3) of the high-frequency cable (1) in contact with the forming and contact section (30) of the front member (11), the retaining means (27) cooperating with a surface (24) on the rear member (10),which guides the retaining means (27) when it is moved by the displacement section (33) from its said ready position (E) to its said operating position (F).
