ABSTRACT:
A connector for microwave transmission lines having inner and outer conductors, separated by a dielectric layer. The connector comprises a contact ring surrounding and in physical and electrical contact with the outer conductor. A first end of the contact ring, the outer conductor and the dielectric layer all terminate in a common plane. In one embodiment, the second end of the contact ring extends for a distance between the outer conductor and a wire shield in the cable. In another embodiment, the contact ring engages the outer conductor at one cavity, and engages the outer surface of the shield at a concentric cavity of a larger diameter. A clamp nut movably surrounds the shield along at least the portion of the shield which surrounds the second end of the contact ring and a connector shell removably engageable with the clamp nut surrounds at least the portion of the clamp nut which surrounds the wire shield. The outer conductor, second end of the contact ring, shield, clamp nut and connector shell are in physical contact to provide an electrical path from the outer conductor to the connector shell. Means for preventing axial motion of the inner conductor are provided.
