Patent ID: 8771012

Claim:
An antenna interface for a radio receiver comprising: a socket, designed to be connected to the receiver, the socket including: a body; and two coaxial cables, each coaxial cable including a core, a conductive braid coaxial to the core, and an electric insulator between the core and the braid, each coaxial cable extending between a first end and a second end, the first end being connectable to a first printed circuit board of the receiver, the second end electrically connecting the braid to the body of the socket, at the second end the core can be accessed through a respective opening made in the body of the socket; and the antenna interface also including, a plug, designed to be connected to the antenna, the plug including: a body, at least two piston contactors, each piston contactor including a stationary portion connectable to a second printed circuit board of the antenna, and a moving portion relative to the stationary portion, the moving portion including a contact element designed to cooperate with a respective core when the socket is connected with the plug, and a flexible membrane, supporting the contact elements of the at least two piston contactors, wherein when the plug and the socket are connected, each contactor is arranged opposite an opening such that the core of a respective cable is electrically connected to the contactor, and the braid of each cable is electrically connected to the body of the plug via the body of the socket.
