Description

[0002] A connector is a mechanical component with electrical connection characteristics. Its main function is to provide electrical connection and signal transmission between various interfaces. It is one of the essential basic components for the electrical connection of the whole machine circuit system.

These methods have improved the usable power limit of SMA type bend connectors to a certain extent, but there is still a through air gap at some point. Utility Model Content

[0048] The third insulator 5 is fitted into the right end of the second insulator 4, and the inner cavity of the third insulator 5 is fitted into the insulation layer of the radio frequency cable.

[0049] Specifically, as an optional implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the upper end of the first insulator 3 has an upper fitting cavity, and an upper fitting block 33 is provided in the upper fitting cavity. The upper fitting block 33 is provided with a first sealing convex surface 331 and a pair of first sealing concave surfaces 332. The upper fitting cavity is provided with a first sealing plane 32.

[0051] The right end of the fourth insulator 6 is sealed and plugged into the second insulator 4. When its left end is engaged with the upper cavity of the first insulator 3 through the left fitting block 62, the pin 11 passes through the notch 61. The second sealing plane 621 is sealed and engaged with the first sealing plane 32. The first sealing concave surface 332 is sealed and engaged with the second sealing convex surface 623. The first sealing convex surface 331 is sealed and engaged with the second sealing concave surface 622.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the second insulator 4 has a mounting hole on its left end, and the right end of the fourth insulator 6 is sealed and inserted into the mounting hole. The area where the fourth insulator 6 mates with the mounting hole is a cylindrical structure.

[0054] The washer 13 is fitted onto the outside of the third insulator 5 and is adapted to provide support;

[0055] The sleeve 14 is located to the right of the washer 13 and is fitted onto the outside of the outer shielding layer of the radio frequency cable. The sleeve 14 is welded to the outer shielding layer of the radio frequency cable.

[0056] The locking nut 15 is threaded at the right end of the transverse cavity.

All the fitting surfaces fit together with each other, and the first inclined surface 31 and the second inclined surface 41 fit together with each other. The large diameter hole 52 of the third insulator 5 fits the radio frequency cable insulation layer. This insulation medium fitting and bonding configuration can effectively reduce the direct air gap between the inner and outer conductors, increase the creepage distance, and increase its usable power limit.
