Abstract
A compact, low profile coaxial to printed wiring board interface includes an interface block and an adapter. The interface block has a stepped opening for receiving the adapter and a coaxial cable. The adapter includes an outer profile with a series of steps that align and mate with the stepped opening of the interface block. An inner insulator of the coaxial cable is positioned entirely within the interface block and lies substantially flush with a first outside surface of the interface block, an outer conductor of the coaxial cable is positioned at an approximate midpoint interface of the adapter, an outer insulator of the coaxial cable lies flush with an external surface of the adapter, and a portion of the adapter positioned outside the interface block comprises a low profile such that the coaxial cable can be positioned away from a perpendicular to the interface block.
