Abstract
A Super High Frequency (SHF) cable and connector assembly for connection to a relatively low impedance circuit, such as a YIG filter for which the connection impedance is on the order of ten ohms, includes: a SHF coaxial cable having a metal ferrule soldered to the outer conductor at one end thereof providing a substantially larger diameter outer conductor at that end than the outer conductor of the cable; and a coaxial plug connector having a coaxial recess in the housing thereof at one end to accommodate the cable ferrule and into which the ferrule is force-fit to make an intimate metal to metal contact therewith, while the cable center conductor engages the connector center conductor within the recess; the connector having within a space that is common to the connector housing, dielectric and center conductor and is filled with a suitable dielectric epoxy while the housing and center conductor are in proper alignment so that when the epoxy sets, it captivates the center conductor maintaining it in alignment with the housing and the housing recess and so it will receive the cable center conductor that extends inside the ferrule when the ferrule is force-fit into the housing recess. After force-fitting the ferrule to the connector, the interface between the outer diameter of the ferrule and the housing recess is sealed with epoxy, thereby sealing the electrical connections of the cable and connector within the connector.
