Abstract
The ends of shielded coaxial conductors are connected to each other by a housing assembly comprising two or more housing blocks. The housing blocks have mating faces which are opposed to, and against, each other. The conductors are prepared by stripping the insulation and the shielding from the end and stripping the insulation only from an adjacent portion of each conductor. The stripped ends are in overlapping relationship and are pressed against each other by compressed blocks of plastic material. The plastic compresing blocks are held against the conductors by compressing bars which in turn are urged against the compressing blocks by a compressed elastomeric material. The dielectric constant of the plastic compressing blocks and the spacing between the overlapping stripped ends of the conductors and the surfaces of the compressing bars are selected such that the impedance in the zone of the electrical connection is compatible with the impedance of the cables.
