Abstract:
A radio frequency cable connector assembly comprising:a first element including coaxial central contact and outer conductive housing separated from each other with first insulator; a cable including coaxial central conductor and a braiding layer with another coaxial insulative layer therebetween; a second element attached to a rear portion of said first element at a right angle, said second element including: a metallic sleeve defining upper and lower portions with a shoulder therebetween, an upper end of said upper portion attached to a rear portion of the conductive housing; an insulative sleeve with an upper edge located on the shoulder, an upper portion of said insulative sleeve enclosing the lower potion and exposed to an exterior circumferentially; wherein said central conductor extends through both the insulative sleeve and said metallic sleeve and mechanically and electrically connects to the central contact, and said braiding layer is sandwiched between the lower portion and the insulative sleeve; and wherein a first axial dimension of said upper portion is similar to an axial dimension of the insulative sleeve; and wherein a second axial dimension of said lower portion is about one half of the axial dimension of the insulative sleeve.
