ABSTRACT:
An impact-hardened coupling device and method for matching the impedance of two or more separate electrical elements such as found in an antenna assembly, and for securing and maintaining the electrical elements in impact-hardened electrical contact. Electrical conductors are mounted in a terminal in slideably electrical contact. The electrical conductors are configurated so that their effective impedance substantially matches the line-to-line impedance of a transmission line in turn connected to a transceiver or like equipment. An electrical surge arrester is provided to protect the conductors and the interconnected electrical elements from high loading situations occurring in response to exposure to electromagnetic pulse radiation. The terminals are potted with a resinous material to provide impact protection to the components of the device while continuing to maintain electrical contact between the conductors.
