ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for providing selective electrical coupling between a pair of mating coaxial connectors. The assembly includes an outer casing, an inner casing, and a sleeve therebetween. The inner casing is rotatably disposed about a common axis with the outer casing within the outer casing. The inner casing is internally threaded at one end for attaching to one of a pair of mating coaxial connectors. The sleeve is rotatably disposed about the common axis between the outer and inner casings with the sleeve and inner casing being rotatably retained with the outer casing. A pair of ball sockets are formed in the inner casing with each containing a ball therein. The sleeve has a pair of axial grooves which when aligned with the ball sockets permit the other one of the pair of mating connectors to be inserted and moved within the inner casing. When the axial grooves are offset in alignment from the ball sockets, the balls protrude into the inner casing hollow interior and retain the other mating connector in a selected one of two positions. In the two positions the other mating coaxial connector is respectively engaged and disengaged from electrical contact with the one mating connector.
