Abstract:
An electrical coaxial contact assembly for use with a coaxial cable having an inner signal conductor and an outer ground conductor comprising:an electrically conductive inner contact assembly having a contact portion movable along a longitudinal axis and biased by a first spring in a given direction to a first extremity of the inner contact, the inner contact assembly being electrically connected to the inner signal conductor of the coaxial cable,an electrically conductive, one piece, outer ground plunger having a longitudinally extending bore and having first and second opposite ends, a contact portion formed at the first end of the around plunger and the second end of the around plunger fixedly attached to the outer around conductor of the coaxial cable, the ground plunger movable with the coaxial cable along the longitudinal axis and biased by a second spring in the given direction to a first extremity of the outer ground plunger, the inner contact assembly being disposed within the bore of the ground plunger and means to electrically separate the inner contact assembly and the ground plunger and to maintain them in coaxial relation to one another.
