Abstract
A versatile quick connect/disconnect coaxial 3.5 mm male connector which can be used to mate with unmodified standard SMA, 2.92 mm, and 3.5 mm female connectors with or without the use of a threaded nut. The connector employs simple construction and achieves excellent electrical performance. The connector allows the user the option of a push to engage and pull to disengage operating feature, plus the additional option to connect using a threaded nut with reduced thread engagement, which can be hand tightened or torqued to a specific value. The threaded nut is retractable and is held clear of the mating area for push/pull operation, and due to the minimum number of threads, the nut can be coupled and uncoupled in one third to one fourth the time needed to thread a conventional nut.
