Abstract
A connector (10) for directly connecting a coaxial cable (32) to the terminal pins (11, 12) of an interconnection system backplane (14). A two-part assembly comprises an outer conductive housing (15) having a narrow hollow stem (16) and an inner insulative plug (17) having a central aperture opening on an inner cavity (22) and at least one other aperture (18) opening on a slot (26) formed in the surface of the plug (17). A contact (23) fitted within the cavity (22) is adapted to receive at one end a backplane terminal pin (12) and at the other end to receive the stripped central conductor (33) of the coaxial cable (3) which conductor (33) is passed through the hollow stem (16). The shielding (35) of the cable (32) is drawn over the stem (16) for electrical contact and the outer housing (15) has stamped in its surface an arcuate detent (28) to present a contacting surface in the slot (26) for a terminal pin (11) when the connector (10) is assembled with the pins (11, 12).
