ABSTRACT:
A self-terminating coaxial connector for installation on the end of a coaxial cable has a coaxial connector plug with a center conductor surrounded by a shield, and within the plug, a switch contact spring and a termination circuit element. The switch contact spring is mounted within the shield substantially parallel to and separated by a spaced gap from the center conductor. The switch contact spring has an end near the center conductor and open end of the plug folded back to cross the spaced gap and movably contact to the center conductor. This movable contact is moved out of contact to the center conductor by coupling of the plug to a mating socket connector. Also within the plug is a termination circuit element connecting from the switch contact spring through the termination circuit element to the shield. This self-terminating plug design has reduced signal reflection and signal radiation problems, and has a simplified mechanical assembly within the connector.
