Abstract:
A self-aligning connector has a shroud with a beveled or chamfered surface for engaging an adaptor for establishing a coaxial electric connection between cables or appliances. The shroud is part of a backplane connector for receiving rack mounted appliances, and the shrouds are grouped to correspond to connectors of 4, 8 or 16 coaxial connections. Each shroud mates with a corresponding adaptor for closing the coaxial connection. A pin in the center of each shroud engages a receptacle defined by a socket on the mating adaptor. The chamfered surface has a centering taper that guides the socket into alignment with the pin during insertion, and the chamfer centers the socket at an insertion depth greater than the depth for engaging the pin such that the socket is centered before the point of insertion travel where the receptacle engages the pin.

Claim (Index 2):
The device of  claim 1  wherein the chamfered edge is defined by a circumference of the annular body for disposing the socket in radial alignment with the shroud as the adaptor slideably engages the chamfered edge.
