ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a terminator which features an internal termination resistor and capacitor mounted on a substrate which is in electrical and mechanical communication with a center terminal pin at one end, and the connector body at the other end. The body of the terminator is grounded via the connection of the terminator to a cooperating connector. The present invention includes a support insulator which protects the internal components of the terminator by preventing transmission of tensile, torsional, and bending stresses through the terminal into the termination chip assembly. The stresses are absorbed by means of a supportive insulator which frictionally supports a textured section of the center terminal within the terminator. The stresses typically occur during installation or removal of the terminator to or from a connector. With the present invention it is possible to twist and bend the metal terminal of the terminator to the point of fracture without damaging the termination chip. Additionally, the performance of the terminator is improved since the connection from the substrate of the termination chip to the terminator body has been enhanced, thereby reducing the high levels of intermodulation distortion associated with prior art terminators.
