Abstract:
A durable coaxial connector () for providing a reliable signal connection to a printed circuit board (PCB) () while isolating the PCB from mechanical loads that are applied to the connector, and an electrical system incorporating the same. The connector can include a connector body () having a connector interface member (), at least one flange (), and a ground interface member () having a first portion () configured to be fixedly attached to the PCB and a second portion () configured to slideably mate to a ground interface receptacle defined in the connector body. A connector interface can be defined on an inner surface () of the connector interface member. A fastener () can couple the connector body to a heat sink (). A thermally conductive boss () can be provided to mount the connector body () and transfer thermal energy from the connector body to the heat sink.

Abstract:
A coaxial connector () which includes first and second contact pins (), an outer contact member () and an inner alignment member (). The inner alignment member can be electrically conductive and coaxially positioned within the outer contact member. The inner alignment member can include at least one substantially tubular portion () with opposing first and second end portions (). Each of the contact pins can include a first end portion () contained within the substantially tubular portion, and a second end portion () which extends beyond a respective end portion () of the inner alignment member. A spring () can be disposed between the first end portions of the respective contact pins to resiliently bias the contact pins in opposing directions.

Abstract:
An interconnect device for connecting components of high frequency communication systems, including RF and phased array applications. The device is capable of carrying RF and microwave signals between pairs of components and includes an outer conducting tube and an insulated conducting wire disposed within the tube. The outside diameter of the insulated wire is less than the inside diameter of the tube allowing movement of the wire relative to the tube. As a result of this movement, the longitudinal axis of the wire may vary from the longitudinal axis of the tube resulting in a âsloppy coaxâ interconnect. The ability of the wire to move within the tube facilitates installation and replacement of the wire when required.
