Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of radio frequency connector technology, specifically relating to a side-wall contact SMA type radio frequency connector. Background Technology
[0002] The SMA connector is an ultra-small coaxial cable connector, named after the Sub-Miniature A connector. It is mainly used to transmit radio frequency signals, with a transmission frequency range of up to 18GHz or higher. It features wide bandwidth, excellent performance, high reliability, and long lifespan.
[0003] like Figure 2 As shown, existing SMA type RF connectors rely on the end face of the RF connector shell for contact when the male and female ends are mated. This contact surface is very thin, which cannot achieve good intermodulation performance. Furthermore, the connection depends on the tightness of the nut. However, the torque of the connecting nut of the SMA type RF connector is very small, and it cannot be tightened too much, which makes it impossible to achieve stable intermodulation performance of the SMA type RF connector. Therefore, we propose a side-wall contact type SMA type RF connector. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a side-wall contact SMA type RF connector to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a sidewall contact SMA type RF connector, comprising an SMA type RF connector housing, an inner conductor disposed inside the SMA type RF connector housing via an insulator, and a first contact head disposed inside the SMA type RF connector housing located outside one end of the inner conductor;
[0006] The connection end between the inner conductor and the SMA type RF connector housing is provided with a second contact head, and a sidewall contact is formed between the second contact head and the inner conductor.
[0007] The outer side of the second contact head is connected to a threaded sleeve via a retaining ring.
[0008] Preferably, a connection step is provided inside the SMA type RF connector housing corresponding to the connection point of the second contact head, and a step groove is opened on the outer side of one end of the second contact head facing the SMA type RF connector housing. One end of the second contact head is disposed on the connection step of the SMA type RF connector housing through the step groove.
[0009] Preferably, a limiting groove is formed on the outer side of the inner conductor at the position corresponding to the second contact head, and the second contact head is disposed in the limiting groove on the inner conductor.
[0010] Preferably, the second contact head is a contact head made of an elastic metal component.
[0011] Preferably, a limiting ring groove adapted to the retaining ring is formed on the outer side of the second contact head and the inner side of the screw sleeve, and the retaining ring is locked in the limiting ring groove.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This invention provides a second contact head at the connection end between the inner conductor and the SMA type RF connector shell. The second contact head is made of elastic metal, which improves the existing end face contact method of the SMA type RF connector to the side wall contact method. The second contact head made of elastic metal forms the electrical contact of the SMA type RF connector, resulting in stable and reliable electrical performance of the SMA type RF connector. It achieves good intermodulation performance of the SMA type RF connector, no longer relying on the tightness of the connecting nut to achieve intermodulation performance. Moreover, the use of a screw sleeve makes installation convenient and quick, and the electrical performance is stable and reliable. Attached Figure Description
