Abstract
An inexpensive, easily assembled electrical connector provides simultaneous secure connection of both center and outer conductors in a bundle of coaxial wires and includes a conductive housing having a cylindrical bore for each wire of the bundled cable. Each bore has a small diameter constriction adjacent a rear surface of the housing and a dielectric insert is disposed in each cylindrical bore from the constriction forward to a front surface of the housing. A conductive pin is attached to the end of each coaxial wire and is inserted into one of the inserts, carrying the coaxial cable into the rear end of a housing bore until the outer conductor meets the constriction, electrically coupling all of the outer conductors to the conductive housing and precisely positioning each of the center conductors relative to a mating center conductor. A connector assembly has a pair of mating connectors that may be electrically connected.
