Benefits of technology

[0018]The connector assembly of the present invention is smaller and more compact than previous connector assemblies, particularly full-size BNC mating connector pairs. The connector assembly of the present invention achieves an improvement of approximately 30 percent more interconnects per given area than full-size BNC mating connector pairs, while including all of the attributes of the standard full-size BNC c

Problems solved by technology

Increased market demand for telephone lines (for voice, fax and data traffic) has caused additional crowding in telephone company central offices.
However, the mechanical footprint of the standard BNC connector hinders further increases in connection densities.
Connectors, such as the SMB connector, with smaller footprints might be used, but they lack certain advantages (e.g., the bayonet locking feature and field crimpability) of BNC connectors, which have become an industr

Embodiment Construction

Overview

[0030]While specific configurations and arrangements are discussed, it should be understood that this is done for illustrative purposes only. A person skilled in the relevant art will recognize that other configurations and arrangements can be used without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It will be apparent to a person skilled in the relevant art that this invention can also be employed in a variety of other devices and applications.

[0031]When working in tight areas, it is sometimes hard to determine if a plug and jack-side of a connector are fully mated or engaged. Embodiments of the present invention provide a jack-side connector having a first securing device and a plug-side connector having a sleeve rotatably coupled thereto. The sleeve has a second securing device that is complementary to the first securing device and an indicator located on an edge of the sleeve. The indicator is contrasted against a characteristic (e.g., color, material, etc.) of...

Abstract

A miniature BNC connector assembly having reduced dimensions includes a plug-side connector configured for engagement with a jack-side connector to form an electrical connection. The plug-side connector includes a plug-side connector body and a bayonet sleeve rotatably connected to the connector body. The bayonet sleeve has an outer diameter not greater than approximately half an inch.
