Abstract
Apparatus by means of which a plurality of coaxial cables can be connected through a flexible adapter board to a printed circuit mother board, comprising, a rigid metal chassis and means to support a flexible adapter board, by means of screws attaching it to the chassis. On one end of the adapter is a metal bracket having a flat portion parallel to and spaced from the adapter board, to which are fastened a plurality of coaxial cable terminals. The central conductors of each terminal extends as pins to and through selected holes in the adapter, and are soldered to the metal conductors on the surface of the PCB adapter. At the second end of the adapter is a male terminal, which is adapted, to be inserted into and connect with a printed circuit board receptacle, positioned on the mother board, which is conventionally fastened removably to the chassis. The adapter is constructed with a plurality of metal conductors on its surface, each one connecting from one of the coaxial cable terminal pins, to a contact on the male connector. The bracket is rigidly attached to the first end of the adapter and to the chassis, so that the coaxial cables can be conveniently attached and detached from the adapter without affecting the mother board in any way; while isolating the mother board from any vibration of the coaxial connectors.
