A switch comprises a first strip conductor and a second strip conductor, arranged orthogonally in a first plane. Moreover, the switch comprises a first switching conductor, having an orthogonally angled shape relative to the first plane. The switch comprises a switching actuator, which is mechanically connected to the first switching conductor and adapted to move vertically relative to the first plane to a first position and to a second position. The switching actuator is configured, so that in the first position, the first strip conductor is in contact with the first switching conductor and the second strip conductor is in contact with the first switching conductor, and so that in the second position, the first strip conductor and the second strip conductor are not in contact with the first switching conductor.

A switch comprises a first elastic element, an actuator-element mechanically coupled to a first side of the first elastic element, and a first switching conductor, mechanically coupled to a second side of the first elastic element. The switching conductor is configured for moving between a first conductor position and a second conductor position. The actuator-element is configured from moving between a first actuator-element position and a second actuator-element position separated by a predefined actuator-element lift, thereby moving the first side of the first elastic element. The first elastic element moreover is configured for converting a movement of the first side of the first elastic element by the predefined actuator-element lift into the movement of the second side of the first elastic element with a predefined elastic force.

A high frequency switch is provided. The high frequency switch comprises a first high frequency connector, comprising a first inner conductor, integrally formed with a first strip conductor. Moreover, the high frequency switch comprises a second strip conductor arranged orthogonally in a first plane relative to the first strip conductor, a third strip conductor, arranged orthogonally in the first plane relative to the first strip conductor, a first switching conductor, having an orthogonally angled shape relative to the first plane, a second switching conductor, having an orthogonally angled shape relative to the first plane. A switching actuator is mechanically connected to the first switching conductor and to the second switching conductor adapted to move vertically relative to the first plane, to a first position and to a second position.

Within a coaxial line, the supporting rings are injection-molded directly onto the inner conductor using synthetic-material injection technology. Furthermore, a circumferential gluing groove, by means of which the supporting ring is glued in the outer conductor through the introduction of glue, is formed on the outer circumference of the supporting ring.

The invention relates to a coaxial plug connector element comprising a metal union nut that is arranged in a rotatable manner on a metal outer conductor and can be screwed onto the external thread of the counter plug connector element. Means for the thermal decoupling of the plug connector element are provided on the inside of the device.

In a microwave transition from a coaxial line () to a coplanar line system (), in a longitudinal hole () of an outer conductor housing (), the round inner conductor () of the coaxial line () continues in a planar inner conductor in the form of a narrow piece of foil (), of an elastically flexible insulating material and metalized on at least one side. The end of this planar inner conductor () then narrows in a transition section () to the width of a coplanar middle conductor (), with coplanar earthing areas () on both sides.

In a coaxial plug-connector part with a cap nut arranged in a rotatable manner on an outer conductor of a coaxial line system and with a ball bearing between cap nut and outer conductor, the ball bearing cooperates with a bearing bush. The ball bearing and the bearing bush are held within the cap nut by a bearing cover screw-connected to the cap nut, and this enclosed structural group can be fitted, via a continuous internal borehole of the bearing bush, onto the outer conductor of the coaxial line system to be connected.

Electrical switching device, especially a high-frequency switching device, with at least one oblong electrical switching element, which is arranged with one contact end between two fixed-contact elements spaced a transverse distance from one another and can be moved by two adjustment elements forming a transverse movement drive transversely to a longitudinal direction optionally towards the one or the other fixed-contact element. The adjustment elements are disposed laterally alongside the switching element and can be moved transversely to and from the switching element. In order to improve the transverse movement drive for the switching element, the switching element-comprises magnetic material, wherein the adjustment elements are formed by magnets.

In a directional coupler with two coupled lines arranged in a flat chamber of an enclosed metal housing within the coupling region side-by-side in the longitudinal direction and at a spacing distance from one another, of which the ends are connected to connecting ports attached at the sides of the metal housing, these coupled lines include flat, sheet-metal strip conductors, which are arranged within the coupling region with their broad sides facing towards one another side-by-side at a spacing distance and held by several support elements made of insulating material in a cantilever manner at a spacing distance from the opposing internal walls of the flat metal-housing chamber within the latter. In this context, at least one strip conductor is curved relative to the opposing strip conductor in such a manner that the spacing distance of the strip conductors in coupling region increases starting from the beginning of the coupling region approximately exponentially up to the end of the coupling region. The width of the two strip conductors increases within the coupling region.

An electrical switching device, especially a high-frequency switching device, comprising an elongate electrical switching element, a contact end of which is disposed between two opposite contact elements that are transversally spaced apart from each other. The switching element can be selectively moved perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction thereof towards one or the other opposite contact element by two adjusting elements that are located on both sides next to the switching element. In order to eliminate or at least reduce frictional processes and the risk of the electrical contact being damaged by abrasion, the switching element is made at least in part of magnetic material while the adjusting elements are formed by two magnet assemblies, the magnetic force of one magnet assembly or the other magnet assembly being selectively reducible or increasable.
