Patent ID: 8876549

Claim:
A capacitively coupled flat conductor connector, for interconnection with a female connector body provided with a female outer conductor coupling surface at a connector end of the female connector body and an alignment receptacle coupled to the female connector body; comprising: a male connector body provided with a bore and a male outer conductor coupling surface provided at a connector end of the male connector body; an outer conductor dielectric spacer dimensioned to cover the male outer conductor coupling surface; an alignment insert coupled to the male connector body; the alignment insert dimensioned to support a predefined length of an inner conductor seated within the bore; the male outer conductor coupling surface dimensioned to seat, spaced apart by the outer conductor dielectric spacer, against the female outer conductor coupling surface; the alignment receptacle dimensioned to receive a connector end of the alignment insert to seat an overlapping portion of the inner conductor and a mating conductor seated in the alignment receptacle parallel with one another against opposite sides of a dielectric spacer.
