  • the contour of the bellows is chosen such that even at the location of the bellows in the coaxial outer conductor sleeve, the predetermined standard resistance of, for example, 50 ⁇ . This can be calculated and implemented using a 3D simulator for high-frequency electromagnetic problems.
  • a coaxial interface in which on an outer conductor a displaceable damping sleeve in the form of a bellows construction is arranged.
  • This damping sleeve is designed in such a way that, when the connection device is disconnected, the outer conductor with the bellows construction generates a waveguide damping with a lower attenuation cutoff frequency of, for example, 20 GHz, so that the mechanically open HF connection can be referred to as shielded and terminated in electrical terms.
  • the electrical and mechanical properties when plugging the coaxial interface are not changed.
  • an outer conductor sleeve is provided which produces a mechanical and electrical contact when plugged in and therefore makes the bellows construction electrically inoperative when plugged in.
  • the invention is based on the object, a coaxial connector of o.g. Type with regard to frequency behavior and reliability.
  • the outer conductor comprises two separate outer conductor parts, wherein a first outer conductor part forms the first plug-side end of the outer conductor and a second outer conductor part forms the second plug-side end of the outer conductor, wherein the two outer conductor parts of the outer conductor are arranged and configured in this way in that these are movable relative to each other in the axial direction, wherein the outer conductor is formed between the two outer conductor parts as notedleiterfederbalg, wherein the outer conductor, a first elastic spring element is provided which acts on the two outer conductor parts of the outer conductor in the axial direction away from each other with force, said relieleiterfederbalg is designed such that when a change in length of the outer conductor spring bellows a changing capacity of the outer conductor spring bellows by a correspondingly changing inductance of the réelleleiterfederbalgs de rart is compensated for that with a change in length of the outer conductor spring bellows, the characteristic im
  • the two outer conductor parts of the outer conductor are arranged and formed such that they are movable relative to the inner conductor in the axial direction in each case.
  • the first elastic spring element is a helical spring.
  • a first stop is provided, which limits the movement of the two outer conductor parts in the axial direction away from each other.
  • an outer conductor sleeve which surrounds the two outer conductor parts and has second stops, which limits an axial movement of the two outer conductor parts away from each other.
  • the inner conductor comprises two separate inner conductor parts, wherein a first inner conductor part, the first plug-side end of the inner conductor and a second Inner conductor part forms the second plug-side end of the inner conductor, wherein the two inner conductor parts of the inner conductor are arranged and formed such that they are movable relative to each other in the axial direction, wherein the inner conductor between the two inner conductor parts is formed as réelleleiterfederbalg, wherein the réelleleiterfederbalg such is formed, that in a change in length of the réelleleiterfederbalgs a changing capacity of the mecanicleiterfederbalgs is compensated by a correspondingly changing inductance of réelleleiterfederbalgs such that at a change in length of the mecanicleiterfederbalgs the characteristic impedance of the Koaxialsteckverbinders remains substantially constant.
  • One of the outer conductor parts independent contact force at the opposite plug-side ends of the inner conductor is achieved in that the first inner conductor part in the axial direction relative to the first outer conductor part and the second inner conductor part in the axial direction relative to the second outer conductor part is movable, wherein the inner conductor provided a second elastic spring element is, which acts on the two inner conductor parts of the inner conductor in the axial direction away from each other with force.

  • a stop is provided which limits the movement of the two inner conductor parts in the axial direction away from each other.
  • the first inner conductor part is rigidly connected to the first outer conductor part and the second inner conductor part is rigidly connected to the second outer conductor part.
  • the in Fig. 1 and 2 shown coaxial connector 10 includes an inner conductor 12 and an outer conductor, which is composed of a first outer conductor part 14, which forms a first plug-side end of the outer conductor, and a second outer conductor part 16, which forms a second plug-side end of the outer conductor. Between the two outer conductor parts 14, 16 of the outer conductor is formed as Basleiterfederbalg 18. In this way, the two outer conductor parts 14, 16 can move in the axial direction relative to each other.
  • the inner conductor 12 is rigid, wherein the inner conductor 12 of Isolierstoffusionn 20 is held within the two outer conductor parts 14, 16 such that the two outer conductor parts 14, 16 can move relative to the inner conductor 12 in the axial direction.
  • a helical spring 22 is provided, which is arranged and designed such that the helical spring 22 pushes the two outer conductor parts 14, 16 away from one another in the axial direction.
  • the two outer conductor parts 14, 16 are surrounded by an outer conductor sleeve 24, which guides the two outer conductor parts 14, 16 in the axial direction and stops 26 forms, which limits an axial movement of the two outer conductor parts 14, 16 away from each other.
  • the coil spring 22 is mounted in the outer conductor sleeve 24 with bias, so that the coil spring 22, the two outer conductor parts 14, 16 in the unplugged condition, as in Fig. 1 shown against the stops 26 presses.
  • complementary coaxial connector 28 is shown, which are designed for mating with the first and second plug-side end of the coaxial connector.
  • the coil spring 22 presses the two outer conductor part 14, 16 of the outer conductor against the contact surfaces of the complementary coaxial connector 28 and thereby provides a good mechanical and electrical contact between the coaxial connector 10 of the invention and the complementary coaxial connectors 28 forth.
  • the Theticianleiterfederbalg 18 is designed such that it provides a length and tolerance compensation by a corresponding change in length, with a change in length of thequaintleiterfederbalgs 18 a changing capacity of the Thusleiterfederbalgs 18 is compensated by a correspondingly changing inductance of the réelleleiterfederbalgs 18 so that with a change in length of the outer conductor spring bellows 18, the characteristic impedance of the coaxial connector 10 remains substantially constant.
  • the coil springs 22 on the outer conductor part absorbs the mechanical insertion forces. However, since the current passes through the outer conductor spring bellows 18 and not via the helical spring, the electrical line is thus separated from the mechanical load in a particularly advantageous manner.
  • Fig. 3 shows a coaxial connector 100 according to the invention, wherein functionally identical parts are designated by the same reference numerals as in Fig. 1 and 2 so that their explanation to the above description of Fig. 1 and 2 is referenced.
  • the inner conductor is also in two parts composed of a first inner conductor part 30 and a second inner conductor part 32, wherein the inner conductor between the two inner conductor parts 30, 32 is formed as réelleleiterfederbalg 34.
