Abstract
An interconnection system comprising two coaxial cables ( ′) connected together by matable connector halves ( ) is disclosed. A first half of the matable connector halves ( ) is a male connector half formed of a first insulating housing ( ) in which is disposed at least one conductive pin ( ) which is electrically connected to the center conductor ( ) of one of the two coaxial cables ( ′). The conductive pin ( ) is at least partly captivated by a first dielectric bead ( ) within a first connector shield ( ). The first connector shield ( ) is electrically connected with the cable outer shield ( ) of the same one of the two coaxial cables ( ). A second half of the matable connector halves ( ) is a female connector half formed of a second insulating housing ( ) in which is disposed at least one conductive receptacle ( ) which is electrically connected to the cable center conductor ( ′) of the other one of the two coaxial cables ( ′) and is at least partly captivated by a second dielectric bead ( ) within a second connector shield ( ). The second connector shield ( ) is electrically connected with the cable outer shield ( ′) of the other one of the two coaxial cables ( ′). The conductive receptacle ( ) is dimensioned to accept the conductive pin ( ) and the second insulating housing ( ) with second dielectric bead ( ) is dimensioned to accept the first insulating housing ( ) with the first dielectric bead ( ).
