Abstract:
A coaxial connector for electrically and mechanically connecting a coaxial cable to a certain device,said coaxial cable having a cylindrical inner conductor, a cylindrical outer conductor disposed in concentric and radially spaced relation with said inner conductor, and a dielectric member provided between said inner conductor and said outer conductor to encircle and support said inner conductor in coaxial relationship with said outer conductor,said coaxial connector comprising:a connector member having a center axis axially aligned with the center axis of said coaxial cable and electrically connected to said inner conductor;a cylindrical body having one end portion and the other end portion having an inner diameter larger than that of the one end portion, said one end portion formed with a through bore having a center axis substantially coincide with said center axis of coaxial cable and disposed in concentric and radially spaced relation with one end portion of said coaxial cable, and said other end portion formed with a through bore having a center axis substantially coincide with said center axis of connector member and disposed in concentric and radially spaced relation with part of said connector member;a tubular dielectric member disposed between said connector member and said cylindrical body;a housing rotatably mounted around and in concentric and radially spaced relation with the cylindrical body so as to have said cylindrical body and said coaxial cable held at a standstill to each other;a tubular conductor having a cylindrical wall portion having a thickness larger than that of the outer conductor of the coaxial cable, and interposed between the inner surface of said body and the outer surface of said coaxial cable in concentric and radially spaced relation therewith; anda solder layer intervening between the inner surface of said tubular conductor and the outer surface of said coaxial cable, and having a thickness larger than that of said outer conductor of said coaxial cable and smaller than that of said tubular conductor, thereby allowing said outer conductor to be electrically connected to the inner surface of said one end portion of said cylindrical body by way of said tubular conductor.
