Flexible RF seal for coax cable connector
InactiveUS20080102696A1Closely connectedPrevent signal leakageTwo pole connectionsTwo-part coupling devicesCoaxial cableEngineering
The present invention incorporates a flexible RF seal into the ground face of a typical connector. The seal comprises a flexible brim, a transition band, and tubular insert with a insert chamber defined within the seal. In a first embodiment the flexible brim is angled away from the insert chamber, and in a second embodiment the flexible brim is angled inward toward the insert chamber. A flange end of the seal makes a compliant contact between the port and connector faces when the nut of a connector is partially tightened, and becomes sandwiched firmly between the ground surfaces when the nut is properly tightened. The present invention allows the connector to make a uniform RF seal on a port even with a range of tightening torques.
