ABSTRACT:
A two-part connector can be achieved for high performance situations using blind-mate insertion by using power activation. In one embodiment, the male and female portions of a standard RF connector can be securely mated so as to achieve high performance without the need for a screw type locking mechanism. Power activation is achieved, in one embodiment, by pneumatic actuation of a piston having fingers which engage an outer edge of a housing formed around the female portion of the connector so as to pull the female portion into a tight mating relationship with the male portion.
