COAXIAL CONNECTOR WITH CONTROLLED CHARACTERISTIC IMPEDANCE

United States Patent 3539976

A coaxial connector for use with signals haVing components of an appreciable frequency is disclosed which includes a forward connector plug structure having a pair of spring arms shaped relative to an underlying dielectric insert and a center conductor to provide impedance matching. The connector includes a structure which facilitates termination of shielded and coaxial cable and a method is disclosed for controlling the deformation of material of the connector to provide impedance matching relative to a circuit path of use.
