Abstract
A connector or adaptive connector includes a first subassembly and a second subassembly with each subassembly including a center conductor and terminating at one end in a termination portion forming a connector portion. The subassemblies interface with each other to slide with respect to each other. A spring acts on each of the subassemblies to bias the subassemblies to slide away from each other and a sleeve contains the subassemblies and spring, the sleeve securing at least one of the subassemblies while allowing movement of the other of the subassemblies in the sleeve for varying the length of the connector. Each subassembly center conductor includes a respective portion of an electrical contact that cooperate to form a center conductor for the connector. The portions of the electrical contact are configured to slide relative to each other when the connector varies in length for maintaining an electrical signal path through the connector.
