Abstract:
1. A dual connector assembly for high frequency applications comprising: a first piece and a second piece; a connector body located within said second piece; a first connection interface including a constant impedance connector comprising a first plug located on one end of said first piece and a second plug complementary to said first plug and located on one end of said second piece; a coaxial cable connector end portion housed in said second piece located at an end opposite said second plug, said coaxial cable connector end portion forming a second connection interface when mated to a complementary coaxial connector plug; said constant impedance connector having said first plug with an inner and outer conductor and said second plug with an inner and outer conductor, wherein said first and second plugs form an overlap region when said first and second plugs are electrically connected and at least partially engaged, said constant impedance connector first plug in electrical communication with electronic or passive electromagnetic components, said constant impedance connector second plug housed in said connector body; said coaxial cable connector end portion rigidly connected to, and in electrical communication with, said second plug of said constant impedance connector through said connector body on said second piece; and at least one compressible, resilient member in contact with said connector body and said electronic or passive electromagnetic components for attenuating shock and vibration forces on said electronic or passive electromagnetic components.
