Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coaxial connector
  • the plug head cable side has a recess for receiving, contacting and intercepting the end of the outer conductor of a coaxial cable, which recess merges via a central opening in a plug-side recess in which an insulating support sits, which holds a connector inner conductor
  • the cable side has a central bore for insertion of the inner conductor of the coaxial cable.
  • the invention further relates to a method for soldering such a connector with the suitably finished end of a coaxial cable.
  • a connector of the type mentioned above which is soldered to achieve a very low-intermodulation connection with a coaxial cable both factory and at the installation, is from the DE 100 55 992 A1 known.
  • this connector is for mounting on coaxial cables of relatively large diameter, ie usually with Wellrohrau field Onleiter and tubular, possibly wavy cable inner conductor determined.
  • the connector inner conductor in a first step, the connector inner conductor must be inserted into the suitably prepared inner cable conductor and soldered to it.
  • the plug head is pushed onto the corrugated pipe outer conductor which is correspondingly set far back in relation to the cable inner conductor.
  • This at least two-part connector not only requires a time-consuming, two-step assembly but is particularly well for small diameter coaxial cable, especially for so-called Semirigid cables, which usually have a massive inner cable conductor and a thin-walled, but smooth cable outer conductor, and for cables with braided outer conductor.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a connector of the type mentioned in the introduction, which can be mounted on time-saving in particular thin coaxial cable.
  • the connector can therefore be mounted fully assembled, ie with the connector inner conductor seated in the insulating support, in one step on the correspondingly finished end of a coaxial cable.
  • the coaxial cable is inserted with suitably protruding and stripped cable inner conductor from the cable side into the recess of the plug head.
  • the cable inner conductor enters the axial bore in the connector inner conductor.
  • the male connector inner conductor can be heated by any known means so far that the solder deposit melts and thereby produces a solder joint between the female connector and the cable inner conductor, supported by the capillary action of the first existing gap between the cable inner conductor and the inner wall of the bore in the connector inner conductor.
  • the plug head with the cable outer conductor according to one of the known methods, ie in particular by Crimping or soldering, mechanically connected and electrically contacted.
  • the only requirement is a sufficient temperature resistance of the insulating support, but usually anyway consists of an at least temporarily correspondingly temperature-resistant plastic such as PTFE.
  • the connector inner conductor which can be plug-side designed as a socket or pin
  • the air expands in the cavities of the connector, especially in the space required to avoid a surge resistance space cable side of the insulating material.
  • the Isolierstoff us is usually pressed into the plug head and the cable-side recess of the plug head is closed by the inserted cable end, it is useful in most connector constructions, if there is a vent hole from the space between the bottom of the cable-side recess of the plug head and the insulating material (Claim 2).
  • the vent hole can be formed in particular as an axial extension of the axial bore of the connector inner conductor (claim 3). This allows at the same time a visual control of the quality of the solder joint between the cable inner conductor and the connector inner conductor, because the vent hole can be realized as an extension of the axial bore of the connector inner conductor, so that after the escape of air and with proper soldering a silvery shining dome of solder appears.
  • the insulating support may have a vent hole (claim 4).
  • plug head has a vent hole, the cable side of the space from the insulator support goes off (claim 6).
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the connector according to the invention is characterized in that in the cable-side recess of the plug head, a solder deposit is arranged (claim 7).
  • the solder deposit can be formed as an insertable part in the cable-side recess of the plug head (claim 8) and arranged in a recessed into the inner wall of the recess annular groove (claim 9).
  • the quality of the solder joint produced in this case can be visually controlled, and that is because the first liquid and then solidifying solder in the annular gap between the cable outer conductor and the cable-side end face of Plug head is visible.
  • An advantageous method for soldering such a connector to the end of a coaxial cable is that at least one of the solder deposits after insertion of the end of the coaxial cable is heated with suitably protruding cable inner conductor to produce the solder joint (claim 10). This will cause a slight axial thrust on the connector (or cable) receive. The moment the solder becomes molten, the cable connector continues to slide on the cable around the corresponding small distance.
  • a completely automated assembly can be realized in a particularly simple manner if at least one of the solder deposits and expediently both solder deposits are heated or heated by means of one or one induction loop respectively (claim 11).
  • the induction loop which serves to heat the connector inner conductor, can be easily deep enough into the plug head from its mating side to introduce close to the insulating support.
  • the further induction loop for liquefying the soldering solder of the cable outer conductor with the plug head surrounds a collar of reduced diameter, which is formed at the cable end of the connector. This reduces the amount of heat required for soldering inductively coupled compared to the amount of heat that would be necessary for sufficient heating of the entire plug head. Accordingly, the cooling time is shortened and the thermal load of the insulating material support is reduced.
  • the coaxial connector shown by way of example in FIGS. 1 to 3 comprises a plug head 1 with a cable-side collar 1.1, in which a recess 1.2 is located, which extends to a bottom 1.3.
  • the recess 1.2 of the plug head 1 has in the region of the Federal 1.1 an annular groove 1.4, in which a solder deposit 4 is arranged.
  • the bottom 1.3 has a passage in the middle 1.7 to a room 1.5, which is part of a plug-side recess 1.6 of the plug head 1.
  • the space 1.5 is on the plug side limited by the end face of a insulating support 2 made of a soldering temperature-resistant plastic such as PTFE. The insulating support 2 is pressed into the plug head 1.
  • a connector inner conductor 3 which is formed in this embodiment as a female contact, but could as well be a pin contact.
  • the connector inner conductor 3 has in this embodiment as a socket contact a recess 3.1 for receiving the pin-shaped connector inner conductor of a mating connector, not shown.
  • the connector inner conductor 3 further has a central, axial bore 3.2, which extends from the cable side to near the bottom of the recess 3.1 and opens into this via an end portion of reduced diameter; which serves as a vent hole.
  • In the axial bore 3.2 is a solder deposit 5.
  • a first induction loop 20 is guided over the collar 1.1 of the plug head 1 and a second induction loop 21 via the connector inner conductor 3.
  • the solder in the solder deposits 4 and 5 becomes molten and fills the gap between the cable outer conductor 10 and the wall of the cable-side recess 1.2 of the plug head 1, on the other hand, the corresponding gap between the wall of the axial bore 3.2 in the body of the connector inner conductor 3 and the cable inner conductor 12.
  • the expanding as a result of heating in the space 1.5 air escapes meanwhile over the end portion of the axial bore 3.2 of the connector inner conductor 3 in the recess 1.6.
  • the bore would continue up to the plug-side end face of the female inner conductor.
  • the connector according to FIG. 2 differs from the one according to FIGS. 1 a to 1 c only in that the space 1.5 is connected on the cable side of the insulating support 2 via a vent hole 6 in the latter with the plug-side recess 1.6 of the plug head 1.
  • the diameter of the vent hole 6 is chosen so that a sufficient free cross-section remains at both end faces of the insulating support 2.
  • the embodiment of the connector according to FIG. 3 differs from that shown in FIGS. 1 a to 1 c only by a vent channel 7 which is formed in the form of a longitudinal groove in the seated in the insulating support 2 body of the connector inner conductor 3.
  • the axial bore 3.2 of the connector inner conductor 3 opens on the mating side in an opening which fills with proper soldering with molten and creamerstarrtem solder, which visually easily control leaves.
  • solder deposit 5 is not arranged at the bottom of the bore 3.2 of the connector inner conductor 3 but in an area 3.3 extended diameter on the cable side entrance of the bore 3.2, which merges at its plug-side end in a channel 3.4 enlarged diameter.
  • the purpose of the channel 3.4 is to be able to visually check from the mating side that at least the transition region between the end of the bore 3.2 and the beginning of the channel 3.4 is coated with solder after the soldering has been performed, ie the soldering has taken place properly.
  • solder deposit 4 is no longer provided in an annular groove but in a region 41.4 for producing a solder connection between the outer cable conductor 10 and the plug head 1, which is formed as a stepped extension of the cable-side recess 1.2 of the plug head 1.
  • the advantage of this embodiment is that it is easier to manufacture in terms of manufacturing technology than the embodiments according to FIGS. 1 to 3.
  • Another difference to those embodiments is that there is no relative displacement between the cable and the connector during soldering.
