ABSTRACT:
A coupler of the zero insertion force (ZIF) type for connecting two coaxial cables. A first embodiment includes a pair of opposed (inner) cylindrical receptacles, electrically connected, each formed from two lengths of helically coiled, interleaved wire, which each receive and grip a cable center-conductor. A pair of opposed (outer) cylindrical receptacles, electrically connected, each formed from two lengths of helically coiled, interleaved wire ribbon, each receive, contact, and grip a cable outer-conductor. The first embodiment further includes means for concurrently enlarging or contracting each (inner, outer) receptacle pair, and means for maintaining receptacle contraction. A second embodiment includes a pair of opposed (inner) cylindrical receptacles, electrically connected, each formed from a length of helically coiled wire, which each receive, contact and grip a cable center-conductor. A pair of opposed (outer) cylindrical receptacles, electrically connected, each formed from a length of helically coiled wire ribbon, each receive and grip a cable outer-conductor. The second embodiment further includes means for concurrently enlarging or contracting each (inner, outer) receptacle pair, and means for maintaining receptacle contraction.
