Abstract:
1. Apparatus which includes a high frequency coaxial connector that has inner and outer connector conductors and a connector insulator between them that are centered on an axis and which includes a coaxial cable that has inner and outer cable conductors and a cable insulator between them, said cable inner and outer conductors having front end portions connected to rear end portions of said connector inner and outer conductors, respectively, wherein the cable outer conductor includes a conductive foil that lies against an outside of said cable insulator, wherein: said inner connector conductor has a bore and said cable conductor foil has an outside surface with a foil cylindrical front end and with said cable insulator lying immediately within said cylindrical front end without a gap between them; said bore in said connector outer conductor has a front end with an inner cylindrical surface, has a slightly smaller inside surface diameter than said foil cylindrical front end so the foil front end must be forced forwardly into the bore, with said cable insulator being compressed as a result of said foil cylindrical front end lying in an interference fit with walls of said bore inner cylindrical surface, to thereby prevent the distortion of electric field lines between said foil and said connector outer conductor.
