Abstract
Several embodiments are shown for a quick connect/disconnect microwave coaxial connector which is held together under magnetic force. In one embodiment, the ends of coaxial cables are provided with annular magnets and the end faces ground flat. A good low SWR coaxial connection is made and held by simply pushing the ends together. In another embodiment, ring magnets are employed to hold standard coaxial ends together while enabling their disconnection by pulling them apart. A magnetic adapter is used to facilitate coaxial connections.
