Abstract
A sealed bulkhead coaxial jack (100) that includes a shell (200), a front dielectric (300), a rear dielectric (400) having a projection ring (404), a front seal (500), a contact (600), and a pin (700). The shell (200) has a metal cylindrical sidewall (201) with the sidewall (201) having retaining lips (204,205). The front dielectric (300) fits snugly within the front shell portion (202) and is constructed of a cylindrical sidewall (301), a front face (302) having an opening (302a) therethrough, and an open rear end. The rear dielectric (400) is a generally solid cylinder block (401) having a passage therethrough. The rear dielectric (400) has a projection ring (404) that encircles and extends away from its outer surface, providing an internal seal for the jack. The front seal (500) is positioned in the front opening (204a) of the shell between the front retaining lip (204) and the front face (302) of the front dielectric (300). The contact (600) has a front portion having a dual beam configuration in proximity to the front shell opening (204a) and is capable of receiving a center conductor of a coaxial cable. The contact (600) also has a rear portion having a triple beam configuration located within the passage of the rear dielectric (400) with a rear portion electrically connected to a pin (700) that extends from its connection within the rear dielectric passage beyond the rear opening (205a) of the shell (200).
