Abstract
A dielectric support bead for a coaxial connector is provided. The support bead comprises a center support portion and a plurality of spaced apart outer support surfaces disposed concentrically about the inner support portion. The inner support portion includes a central through aperture dimensioned to be pressfit over the center conductor of a coaxial connector. The outer supports define segments of a cylinder and are dimensioned for pressfit engagement with the outer conductor of the coaxial connector. The outer support surfaces are maintained in concentric relationship to the center support portion by a plurality of support legs. Concave generally cylindrical surfaces extend continuously between adjacent support legs and are generated about axes extending parallel to and disposed symmetrically about the central axis of the bead. An annular shroud is disposed adjacent one end of the bead to prevent contaminants from entering the body of the connector.
