Patent ID: 6981895

Claim:
A connector assembly for transfer of electrical signals among one or more devices, said connector assembly comprising: a connector plug comprising a conductive center pin having one or more conductive segments, said center pin surrounded by a conductive sleeve having an interior surface and an exterior surface, at least one of said surfaces having one or more conductive segments; and a connector receptacle for receiving said connector plug comprising: a first conductive sleeve having an interior surface comprising one or more conductive segments for mating with said one or more conductive segments of said exterior surface of said conductive sleeve of said connector plug; a second conductive sleeve having an exterior surface comprising one or more conductive segments for mating with said one or more conductive segments of said interior surface of said conductive sleeve of said connector plug; and a third conductive sleeve having an interior surface comprising of one or more conductive segments for receiving said one or more conductive segments of said center pin of said connector plug; wherein mating said one or more conductive segments of said connector plug and said connector receptacle causes one or more electrical signals from one or more electric devices coupled to said connector plug to be transferred among one or more electric devices coupled to said connector receptacle.
