ABSTRACT:
An interconnected assembly of an array of high frequency coaxial connectors includes a pair of mounting plates having opposed mating coaxial electrical connectors mounted therein. The opposed connectors are configured such that a redundant or dual electrical connection is established when one connector is telescopingly received within the other connector. The redundant connection includes a butted interface, as well as a frictional interfit between the connectors. This arrangement eliminates the need to provide individual coupling nuts for securing the link between mated pairs of connectors which enables the distance between connectors along each plate to be reduced thereby conserving space. Further, due to the redundant electrical connection, should vibration or misalignment cause the mated connectors to separate, thereby breaking the butt interface connection, electrical continuity is still maintained. In a preferred embodiment of the subject invention, one of the connectors in each pair is float mounted in the associated mounting plate to enable the connector to shift during mating thereby overcoming any misalignments to achieve a satisfactory electrical connection.
