Abstract:
1. A phone plug connector device comprising: a phone plug and connector, the phone plug including a conductive tip and a stem; wherein the connector is adapted to connect the phone plug to a triaxial cable, wherein the coaxial cable comprises a center conductor surrounded by at least a first dielectric, the at least first dielectric being surrounded by at least a first conductive sheath, at least a second dielectric and at least a second conductive sheath, wherein the at least first conductive sheath is surrounded by the at least second dielectric, the at least second dielectric is surrounded by the at least second conductive sheath and the at least second conductive sheath is surrounded by a protective outer jacket; wherein the phone plug and connector comprise a series of conductors concentrically arranged in the phone plug connector device, the series of conductors comprise a portion of the stem of the phone plug configured for engaging and electrically contacting the center conductor of the triaxial cable, a first conductive tubular component located in the connector for electrically contacting the at least first conductive sheath, and a second conductive tubular component for electrically contacting the at least second conductive sheath; wherein the first conductive tubular component comprises a post, and the second conductive tubular component comprises an inner housing, and an outer housing, wherein the post and inner housing couple the phone plug to the connector by interference fit; wherein the second conductive tubular component further comprises a first annular clamp axially disposed in the outer housing, the outer housing configured for interference fit with the first annular clamp and the inner housing, the inner housing configured for interference fit with the post; wherein the connector is adapted to mechanically and electrically connect by compression the center conductor, and first and second conductive sheaths of the triaxial cable to the conductors of the phone plug connector device.
