A coaxial cable-connector assembly includes a coaxial cable and a coaxial connector. The coaxial cable includes a central conductor, an outer conductor, a dielectric layer interposed between the central conductor and the outer conductor, and a jacket overlying the outer conductor. The coaxial connector includes: a central conductor extension configured to mate with a mating connector at one end and mated with the central conductor of the coaxial cable at a second opposite end; an outer conductor extension configured to mate with the mating connector at one end attached via a solder joint to the outer conductor of the coaxial cable at a second opposite end; and a dielectric spacer positioned between and separating the central conductor extension and the outer conductor extension, the dielectric spacer further positioned adjacent the solder joint to inhibit solder flow away from the solder joint.

A coaxial connector includes: a first joint and a second joint, a locking flange arranged at one end portion of the second joint; and a quick locking and separating mechanism that includes: a locking member fixedly arranged on a first end portion of the first joint and provided with a depression for accommodating the locking flange of the second joint; and a sliding sleeve arranged around the first joint and being slidable between a locking position in which the sliding sleeve locks the locking flange of the second joint in the depression of the locking member so as to connect the first joint and the second joint and an unlocking position in which the sliding sleeve allows the locking flange of the second joint to disengage from the depression of the locking member so as to allow the first joint to be separated from the second joint.

Coaxial connector with quick locking and separating mechanism

The present invention discloses a blind mating and floating RF connector assembly with low intermodulation, comprising a first connecting device and a second connecting device, wherein the first connecting device comprises a first guide portion and the second connecting device comprises a second guide portion adapted for mating with the first guide portion, wherein the first connecting device has a slotted configuration and is provided, at an end, with a boss projecting radially outwards and the second connecting device is provided with a corresponding inner engaging groove being capable of radially abutting the boss, wherein the second connecting device comprises a fixed mount unit and a floating unit, the floating unit being capable of moving radially and axially relative to the fixed mount unit, in such a way that a plurality of pairs of the first connecting device and the second connecting device can be quickly connected simultaneously via a quick blind mating operation when the first connecting device and the second connecting device are brought together, without necessarily making the first connecting device and the second connecting device be axially aligned precisely with each other. The present invention allows relative floating of connecting devices of a plurality of pairs of low-intermodulation RF connectors, allows simultaneous quick blind mating connection, and improves connecting efficiency and installation reliability.
