Abstract
A connector assembly for coupling a plurality of coaxial cables to a substrate, including a housing adapted to be removably attached to a first area of a substrate, the housing having a first wall with an array of holes formed therethrough, and connector bodies releasably retained within the housing in substantial alignment with the array of holes. Each connector body includes a bore extending therethrough, an insulator fixed within the bore, and a center contact releasably positioned within a central bore formed in the insulator. A coaxial cable segment is operatively connected to each of the connector bodies, and each coaxial cable segment includes a center conductor fixed to the center contact and an outer shielding conductor fixed to the connector body. Each of the coaxial cable segments extends outwardly from the housing and has a distal end adapted to be connected to another area of the circuit board.
