Appl. No.:

17/523406

Inventors:

- Waltham MA, US
David M. Dyer - Prosper TX, US
Steven Sprinkle - Van Alstyne TX, US
Paul E. Schlittler - Mc Kinney TX, US

International Classification:

H01Q 23/00
H01Q 9/16
H01Q 21/28

Abstract:

A radio frequency (RF) circuit connection assembly comprises a RF circuit board and a RF connector. The RF circuit board has a first side and a second side opposite the first side. A RF circuit is located on the first side and an aperture extends through the RF circuit board from the first side to the second side. The RF connector comprises a barrel having a socket configured to receive a RF bullet, a flange having a mounting surface, and a RF connector pin extending laterally from the barrel. The barrel of the RF connector extends through the aperture of the RF circuit board such that the mounting surface of the flange is seated against the first side of the RF circuit board, and the RF connector pin is electrically coupled to the RF circuit on the first side of the RF circuit board.

International Classification:

H01R 13/502
H01R 13/52
H01R 13/6581

Abstract:

A backshell includes a substrate having a lower surface and an upper surface and a lower connector having a first groove defined therein. A first gasket is disposed in the first groove and the lower connector is positioned on the lower surface to capture the first gasket in the first groove. The backshell assembly includes a second groove defined in a first connector and a second gasket is disposed in the second groove. The first connector is positioned to capture the second gasket in the second groove. The backshell assembly includes a third groove and a third gasket disposed in the third groove. A second connector is disposed about the first connector to enclose the third gasket in the third groove such that the second connector is capable of moving along the Z-axis while maintaining the third gasket in the third.
