The present invention relates generally to an arrangement used to branch a coaxial cable.

The invention also relates to a connector arrangement which comprises a separate unit, i.e. a separate box, as in the case of a coaxial cable being connected to another coaxial cable. However, the invention may also be implemented by the fact that the connector arrangement is part of a receiver. In this case, the box is most often the box of the receiver, for example the power supply box.

Specifically, when the coupling device is a stand-alone unit, this also applies when the connector is formed as a socket, or when the connector is plugged into a plug which must be inserted into a socket.

The invention also relates, in particular, to, but not limited to, the arrangement of the coaxial cable being distributed so as to distribute a high frequency signal, such as a television signal.

In each case, the connector arrangement to be used has to fill several functions.

On the one hand, it must ensure the fixing of the coaxial cable, on the other hand, regardless of the previous one, it must provide an appropriate first electrical contact to the metal mesh normally forming the coaxial cable shield and a second electrical contact to the central core of the coaxial cable.

In general, the socket arrangements used for this purpose serve as a socket that is attached to the end of the coaxial cable and then pressed onto it, after the prior, more or less complicated stripping of the cable. The known arrangement further comprises a connector sleeve which is part of the receiver to be fed and through which the coaxial cable can be attached to the device in cooperation with the aforementioned socket.

In addition to the relatively high cost and complicated use of this known arrangement, in practice the fixing of the cable has not always proved to be appropriate.

In other known and used coupling arrangements, on the one hand, a clamping element, such as a clamping ring, is used which, on the one hand, secures the coaxial cable to the receiver to be fed and also provides electrical contact with the metal mesh, and on the other hand uses a terminal clamp to ensure contact with the central vessel.

Although these known connector arrangements fix the coaxial cable properly and efficiently, they have the disadvantage that their installation and use are relatively complicated and long.

In particular, it is necessary to strip the coaxial cable with a non-negligible amount of work in order to make the metal mesh forming the shield accessible.

European Patent Application 0 671 787 discloses a solution in which this stripping is avoided and the connector arrangement has a contact element which can be inserted into the cable between the outer casing and the shield, and thus the shielding is directly applied to the contact element.

However, this European patent application 0 671 787 does not deal with the issue of connecting a coaxial cable, it only discloses a simple shielded cable and has no other connector.

In addition, it is relatively complicated to mount it again, especially when it comes to attaching the arrangement to the cable.

The Spanish utility model No. 92 01739, published No. 1,021,449, also proposes a direct connection cable.

However, although this cable is also a coaxial cable, the Spanish utility model 92 01739 only deals with the connection of the central vessel of the coaxial cable, and otherwise solves the shield contact.

U.S. Patent No. 4,717,355 discloses a cable connection sealed at the end of a coaxial cable. Here, a connector arrangement for the coaxial cable with a terminal sleeve receiving its end is also provided, and the cable to be branched off is also partially stripped. The connector sleeve is connected to a lateral contact element parallel to the axis of the connector sleeve.

The contact member is a pointed end of a connector having a conical clamping surface. The coaxial cable is clamped by an elastically deformable pressure element having an inner surface facing the coaxial cable insulating jacket and a conical outer surface of the contact element conical surface. The contact member can be pressed against the pressure element, thereby causing the pressure element to suffer from elastic deformation and compress the coaxial cable insulation between the pressure element and the contact element.

The present invention relates to a connector arrangement that is easy and quick to use and which simply and effectively fixes the coaxial cable.

The arrangement according to the invention has at least one connector sleeve which can be directly connected to the previously partially stripped end of a coaxial cable to be branched. In addition, the connector sleeve has a laterally connected contact element which is disposed parallel to the axis of the connector sleeve. According to the invention, in the arrangement, the contact element can be inserted between the outer casing of the coaxial cable and the shield, and the arrangement has a pivoting pivot about an axis parallel to the axis of the connector sleeve. The pin has at least one clamping rib perpendicular to its axis, the periphery of which extends from the axis around the pin. On the other hand, the arrangement has an axially extending terminal block for connecting the cable to the connector sleeve, to which the central force of the coaxial cable can be connected.

In such a connection arrangement, only the central vessel of the coaxial cable should be stripped without having to shield it, which is usually a delicate task.

Suffice it first to insert the previously stripped central vessel into the connector sleeve by coaxial chaos

Blinking is then made by attaching the cable to the intended contact element, and rotating it around its own axis, for example by a quarter turn, the associated pin, for example, by means of a simple screwdriver.

In practice, due to the pin grip of the pin, the pin taps off the outer insulating jacket of the coaxial cable and clamps it between itself and the contact element, so that reliable fixing of the cable is created.

The features and advantages of the invention will now be explained with reference to the following description and schematic drawings of the exemplary embodiments, wherein

As illustrated in the figures, especially in Figs. 19 and 20, the invention relates to an arrangement for securing the branching of a coaxial cable 10.

As far as the coaxial cable 10 itself is concerned, it has, on the one hand, a central core of a conductor 11, which is essentially a simple metal fiber. On the other hand, the cable has a shield 12, which is most often formed by a metal mesh. Between the central core and the shield 12 there is an inner casing made of an insulating material, the latter not shown in the image, and the shield 12 is surrounded by an outer casing 13, also made of insulating material.

In the illustrated embodiments, the connector arrangement 15 providing the junction of the coaxial cable 10 is configured as a separate unit, for example in the form of a socket. The connector arrangement 15 has a box 16, which is essentially a box of the substrate itself.

In the illustrated embodiments, the bottom box is formed by the box body 16A and the lid body 16B sealingly secured to the box body 16A.

For example, the cams 16A are provided with cams 17 at specific locations along their circumference (shown in FIGS. 4-8) or 24-29. Figs. 17 'to 17 illustrate that the lid 16B can be fastened, possibly glued or welded.

These arrangements are known per se and do not play a role in the invention and need not be described in more detail. Only those elements required to understand the invention are described. It is enough to indicate here that a

EN 222 221 B1

16The box body and the cover 16B may preferably be made of conductive material, for example metal.

According to the invention, the arrangement 15 has at least one connector sleeve 18 directly connected to the partially stripped end of the coaxial cable 10 to be branched, as indicated above. The connector sleeve 18 is substantially cylindrical, as will be described in more detail below. The connector sleeve 18 has a laterally connected contact element 19. The contact member 19 is disposed parallel to the Al axis of the connector sleeve 18. The contact member 19 may be inserted between the outer casing 13 of the coaxial cable 10 and the shield 12. Further, the coupling arrangement 15 has a pivot pin 20 rotatable about the axis A parallel to the axis A of the connector sleeve 18. The pin 20 has at least one clamp 21 at its axis transverse to the axis of the A2, the periphery of which extends from the axis A2 around the pin 20. On the other hand, the connector assembly 15 has a terminal terminal 22 which is axially aligned with the connector sleeve 18 and secures the junction of the cable 10 to which the central core 11 of the coaxial cable 10 can be connected.

In the illustrated embodiments, the connector arrangement 15 according to the invention has two coaxial connectors 18 having a common pin 20, which are parallel to each other and which are parallel to one another. In this way, the coaxial cable 10 can be branched individually or together through the sleeves 18.

In practice, the connector sleeves 18 are part of the body body 16A and are substantially parallel to its inner surface.

In the illustrated embodiments, the connector arrangement 15 according to the invention further comprises two output sockets 23, 23 'associated with the two connector sleeves 18. However, while the two sockets 18 are identical, the two sockets 23, 23 'are different.

Practically, as best seen in FIG. 4, the socket 23 has a needle (plug) type 24 contact axially, while the socket 23 'has a sleeve or socket type 24'.

In the illustrated embodiments, the connector arrangement 15 according to the invention also has a third socket 23 'having a lant-type contact element 24' in the axial direction. In practice, the 23,23 'and 23' sockets are on the cover 16B, protruding from it, and parallel to the top surface of the cover 16B.

In this way, they are perpendicular to the connector sleeves 18.

In the bottom box, the connector arrangement 15 according to the invention has two internal blocks 25A, 25B which are made of insulating material and have a printed circuit 26 therebetween.

The inner block 25A is behind the connector sleeves 18 attached to the box body 16A and for this purpose a housing 28 is provided in the housing 16A.

In practice, a case 29 is formed in the inner block 25A against each of the connector sleeves 18, and accordingly there are two chambers 30 in the housing 28 of the box body 16A.

The inner block 25B itself is formed in the cover 16B.

The upper surface 16B of the lid 16B has a passageway 31, which is provided with an insulating member 24 'of the socket 23', and has a protrusion 32, which, in particular, is provided with a sealing member. 1 to 3, the socket 23 'is punctured by a cylindrical spring 33 and is formed for this purpose in a star-like manner.

The printed circuit 26 is disposed substantially in the plane of contact between the case body 16A and the cover 16B, and has two connection terminals 22 associated with each connector sleeve 18 on its surface towards the housing body 16A. On the other hand, there are three contact elements 24, 24 ', 24' on the surface of the printed circuit 26 facing the lid 16b.

They provide all the necessary electrical connections.

As best done on the one hand 5-9. 24-26; 1 to 3, the bottom 34 of each connector sleeve 18 is broken with an opening 35 for passing the central axis 11 of the coaxial cable 10. In practice, the connecting terminals 22 are attached to the bottom 34.

Specifically, for both connector sleeves 18, as will be described in more detail below, each connector terminal 22 is provided in housings 29A disposed in the respective chamber 30 of the seat 28, which is a housing 28 formed by the housing 16A.

In addition to the two chambers 30 corresponding to the two sleeves 18, the seat 28 of the box body 16A also forms a third chamber 36 for the pin 20.

In both embodiments of the connector sleeves 18, the contact member 19 is formed as a blade plate with an axial pin.

In other words, the contact element 19 is located along a fragmentary portion of the circumference of the connector sleeve 18 around the Al axis.

In practice, as schematically illustrated in Figure 6, the central angle A3, which is closed by the contact element 19, is less than 90 °, e.g. about 60 °.

In the illustrated embodiments, as shown in Figure 19, the contact element 19 is positioned between the Al axis of the connector sleeve 18 and the axis of rotation A2 of the pin 20 in the lateral extension 38 of the connector sleeves 18, which forms a joint 38 to the chamber 36 surrounding the pin 20. direction.

Preferably, as in the embodiments shown, the contact member has an inner surface 39, i.e. a surface facing the connector sleeve 18, at least partially a cylindrical surface, the axis of which coincides with the Al axis of the connector sleeve 18, and thus the outer surface of the coaxial cable 10 also match.

It is also preferred, as in the embodiments shown, to have a notch 42 on the outer surface 40 of the contact element 19, i.e. on the surface facing the pin, transversely to the pin 20 of the pin.

For example, as in the embodiments shown, the incision of the contact element 19 is inclined relative to the Al axis of the connector sleeve 18, rather than being perpendicular to it.

EN 222 221 B1

It is also preferred that, as shown in Figures 21 and 22, the outer surface 40 of the contact element 19, i.e. the outer surface of the pin 20, has a further 42 'incision outside the incision 42, and the two incisions 42,42' are the axis of the contact element 19. being displaced relative to one another so as to be lowered against the clamping rib 21 of the pin 20, the clamping rib 21 has a substantially flat-edge profile in the axial cross-section such that the lowering of the clamping rib 21 and the contact member 19 forms a clamp for the outer casing 13 of the coaxial cable 10.

The second incision 42 'is formed perpendicularly to the axis Al of the connector sleeve 18, but may also be inclined relative to the incision 42.

In the illustrated embodiments, the contact element 19 at both connector sleeves 18 is formed in one piece with the housing body 16A.

In practice, at both connector sleeves 18, the contact member protrudes from the bottom 34 of the sleeve sleeves 18 at the edge of the opening piercing the bottom 34.

In the embodiments shown, as shown in FIGS. 23 and FIG. 1 to 4, the pin 20 has an axial axis 44.

1-20. 9A and 20B, the pin 20 can be rotated by a hole 46 in the housing body 16A by one end 45 of the shaft 44, and by the other end 47 of the shaft 44 on the body body 16A. it can also rotate in a dedicated bed 48, where the shaft 44 is fixed in the bed 48 by an elastically deformable rod 50 while rotating the pin 20 around the A2 axis. The rod 50 belongs to an internal block 25A attached to the box body 16A.

In practice, the bore 46 is formed in the wall 36 of the chamber 36 formed in the housing body 16A. This circumferentially surrounds the axis 44 at 360 ° in the bore.

In practice, the hole 46 extends axially outwardly so that the end of the shaft 44 of the pin 20 is accessible to the user and the user can rotate the shaft 44.

Preferably, as in the embodiments shown, the shaft 44 of the stud has a groove 51 extending along the diameter at this end 45, similar to a screw head.

Likewise, the bed 48 belongs to a slot 53, the latter forming a local extension of the chamber 36, as illustrated in FIGS. The 48 beds surround the 44 axes by 180 °.

1-23. 1 to 4, a shoulder 55 is slightly rearward from the end 45 of the shaft 44 of the pin 20, which is formed by an intermediate section 54 having a larger diameter. The pin 20, with the aid of the shoulder 55, collides axially against the wall of the box body 16A in which the bore is formed.

Accordingly, the inner block 25A has 56 tongues at the other end 47 of the pin 20, i.e., opposite the bore 46. The tongue 56 moves the pin 20 axially so that it extends transversely to its axis 44 and presses the pin 20 towards the side of the body body 16A in which the bore 46 is formed.

Preferably, as in the embodiments shown in Figures 4 and 12, at the end of the tongue 56, on the side facing the pin 20, there is an inclined tab 57 which facilitates sliding of the tongue 56 to the end of the shaft 44 of the pin 20.

In the illustrated embodiments, the pin 20 has circumferential bumps 56 which lie in the direction of the axis of the shaft 44 and are capable of limiting the angular rotation of the pin 20 about half a turn around its axis of rotation A2.

1-23. In the particular embodiments shown in Figs.

In any case, due to the limitation of the angular rotation, in the embodiments shown, there is a positioning device between the shaft 44 of the pin 20 and the box body 16A, which distinguishes positively between two mutually perpendicular positions of the pin 20, practically two operating positions of the pin 20. In one position, the pin 20 is in the standby position before wiring. The other is the clamping position after the cabling.

1-20. 9A, the positioning means comprises a rib 59 extending from the box body 16A above the bed 48 at the middle portion of the bed 48 and two grooves 60 pressed into the shaft 44 of the pin 20 at its end 47. The grooves 60 are rotated 90 ° relative to each other along the axis 44.

In the illustrated embodiments, the pin 20 has only one clamping rib 21, but is divided into two flaps 62 which are diagonally opposed to each other, each one of the 18 sleeves.

For example, as in the embodiments shown, both flaps 62 have a triangular shape in an axial section with a flat edge (ridge or spine).

In another preferred embodiment, shown in FIG. 23, both flaps 62 have a substantially rectangular section with an axial section with a flat edge.

In the illustrated embodiments, the pin 20 is in one piece and the clamp 21 forms a piece with its axis 44. The stud 20 may be made of metal, for example.

1-20. 1 to 10, as best shown in FIGS. 2A, the two shells 29 formed in the inner block 25A are connected by a bridge 63. At the center of the bridge 63, there is a back, parallel to each other in the direction of the aforementioned tongue 56, the bed 48 formed in the body 16A, and a stem 64 for fixing the inner block 25A in the body 16A.

The above-mentioned elastic rod 50 is parallel to the bridge 63 at a distance from it and two flanges 65 are attached to the bridge.

To pass through the central axis 11 of the coaxial cable 10, each housing 29 of the inner block 25A has a bore 67 opposite the opening 35 of the bottom 34 of the corresponding connector sleeve 18.

Preferably, as in the embodiments shown, a narrowing inlet portion 68 leads to the bore 67.

222 221 Β1

Further, FIGS. 9A, the lead portion 68 is surrounded by a collar 69 at its mouth, which also contributes to fixing the inner block 25A in the box.

In both of the connector sleeves 18 in the illustrated embodiments, the connecting terminal 22 has a bore 70 for receiving central coil 11 of the coaxial cable 10, as best shown in Figure 18. The bore 70 has two elastically deformable tabs 71 which are bent at their ends to form a gap 72. The gap 72 is perpendicular to the Al axis of the corresponding connector 18.

In addition, in this embodiment, the connector terminal 22 on each connector sleeve 18 has a stem 73 for attaching the terminal block 22 to the printed circuit board 26.

1-20. 1 and 2, the tongues 71 of the connecting terminals 22 are adjacent to their respective bores 70.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the ribs of each of the housings 29 of the inner block 25A are provided with ribs 74 to cooperate with the tongues 71 such that the ribs 74 form a nest that receives at least partially the tongues 71.

In the embodiments shown, the bottom of each housing 29 of the inner block 25A is broken against the seat 75 by an opening 76. Accordingly, the bottom of the chambers 30 of the box body 16A is also broken by an opening 77 which allows the user to visually check the contact and engagement of the central core 11 of the coaxial cable 10 and the corresponding terminal 22.

Finally, 1-20. 2A, there are two chambers 78 between two chambers 30 of the box body 16A, extending the wall separating the two chambers 30, extending above the connecting plane of the housing 16A and the cover 16B. This provides grounded insulation between the terminals 22.

During assembly, as shown in FIG. 4, the pieces constituting the connector assembly 15 according to the invention can be simply inserted into one another, respectively, by connecting the connecting terminals 22 on the one hand and the contact elements 24, 24 ', 24 on the printed circuit 26, respectively. , soldered to the contact points for this purpose.

In practice, the pin 20 is initially slanted into the chamber 36 of the box body 16A, so that the end 45 of the shaft 44 is inserted into the bore 46 formed on the body body 16A, and the pin 20 is positioned when the other end 47 of the shaft 44 is provided for this purpose. They are pressed into 48 beds.

In this position, the inner block 25A supports the pin 20 in the axial direction and at the same time fastens transversely to its axis.

In the stand-by position, the flaps 62 of the clamping rib 21 of the pin 20 are transverse to the sockets 18 in the body body 16A. At this point, the space between the pin 20 and the contact elements 19 connected to the connector sleeves 18 is fully released.

To coax the coaxial cable 10, the coaxial cable 10 is first stripped at its respective end to its central core, as indicated by a continuous line in Figure 19.

It is then sufficient for the coaxial cable 10 to be pressed with some force into the connector sleeve of the connector arrangement 15 according to the invention, such that the contact element 19 is inserted between the outer casing 13 of the coaxial cable 10 and the shield 12, as also shown in Figure 19.

Then, the central blade 11 of the coaxial cable 10 also penetrates into the housing 29 of the inner block 25A, passing through the bore 70 of the terminal block 22 in the case 29, and finally clamping between the tongues 71 of the terminal 22.

It is then sufficient again to turn the pin 20 by a quarter turn.

During the rotation, the flap 62 of the clamping rib 21 of the pin 20 squeezes the outer casing 13 of the coaxial cable 10 while being pressed against the contact element 19 behind the notch 42 of the contact element. In doing so, the outer shell 13 accurately captures the shape of the contact element, thereby providing a tight fixation to the coaxial cable 10.

If another coaxial cable 10 is used, as indicated by a dashed line in Figs. 19 and 20, the same coaxial cable 10 can be fixed simultaneously by a single operation with the 20 pin.

See pages 21-23. 1 to 3, where the pin 20 can be rotated by a quarter turn, the outer casing 13 of the coaxial cable 10 is pressed into the recess 19 of the contact element. In this way, the outer casing 13 receives a stepped shape defined by the gap between the recesses and the wedges of the pin taps. This also locks the coaxial cable 10 in a closed position.

This arrangement is particularly advantageous in that it prevents the outer casing 13 from being torn when the coaxial cable 10 so branched is tightened.

24-35. 1 to 20 are substantially similar to FIGS. 1 to 3.

In this case, there is also a cover 16B, the socket 23 'of which is open laterally, due to at least one gap 80, which starts from the mouth of the socket 23' and extends along at least a portion of the height of the socket 23 '.

For example, as illustrated, there is a gap 80 around the socket 23 ', evenly spaced in a circle.

This outlet 23 'alone is flexible enough to allow the above-described cylindrical spring 33 to be omitted.

Further, in this embodiment, the ends 45, 47 of the shaft 44 of the pin 20 are rotatably disposed in beds 46 ', 48 intended for this purpose on the body body 16A. Above the beds 46 ', 48, the pin 20 is mounted transversely to its axle A2 instead of the former 50 rods 50', which, like the flexible rod 50, belongs to the inner block 25A of the box body 16A.

In the illustrated embodiment, the bushing 50 is transversely, i.e. substantially A2, of the pin 20

There is a gap 82 perpendicular to the perpendicular 21, due to the passage of the clamping rib 21 of the pin 20.

The bushing 50 'is thus divided into four arms 83.

In practice, at least one lever 83 is also used to form a positioning means between the shaft 44 of the pin 20 and the body body 16A.

For this purpose, one of the arms 83 is inwardly inclined 59 ', which, instead of the previous rib 59, can co-operate with the grooves 60, for example the groove 44 of the pin 20.

For example, as illustrated, each arm 83 of the bushing 50 'has a rib 59'. Further, in the embodiments shown, the box body 16A extends outwardly from both sides 46 ', 48 so that both ends 45, 47 of the shaft 20 are accessible to the user.

In practice, in the illustrated embodiments, the bed 46 'extends outwardly through the mouth of the sleeve sleeves 18 at the same level as the aperture 18 of the box body 16A.

In contrast, in this embodiment, the bed 48 extends straight outward.

In practice, in the embodiments shown, the axial collision of the pin 20 is effected by direct interaction between the transverse surfaces of the shaft 44 and the box body 16A, on the one hand, at the opening 85 of the body body 16A and on the bed 48. Accordingly, the pin 20 has a circumferential stop 58 for limiting the angular displacement.

In practice, the circumferential bumpers 58 are at the ends 45, 47 of the shaft 44, and the box body 16A is provided with lateral, removed hooks on both sides 46 ', 48.

Otherwise, 24-35. In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1A, one of the flaps 62 of the clamping rib 21 of the pin 20 is cut off at one of its circumferential ends 87 to allow the pivot 20 to be turned 90 °.

Further, in this embodiment, there is a snap means 88 between the body body 16A and the inner block 25A.

In this way, it is advantageously possible to treat the box body 16A of the connector assembly 15A and its inner block 25A as a single subunit which, on the one hand, also engages the pin 20 and can also be rotated so that it is not necessary to hold the pin 20 out of sight. This also facilitates assembly.

In practice, the snap means 88 acts on the pin 20 by means of a bridge 90 formed on the body body 16A, which is formed in a tunnel-like manner and separates the two chambers 30, 46 ', 48, in the box body 16', instead of a simple partition.

For example, as illustrated, the snap-in means 88 comprises, on the one hand, a head 91 formed by the body 90, which extends from the bridge 90 to the head 16A. The head 91 has two lateral hinges 92, one on the other, and on the inner block 25A there are two elastically deformable tongues 93, which are aligned in line between the two shells 29 of the inner block 25A and thus in the two hooks 92 described above. They can be caught.

Otherwise, in the embodiments shown, the body 16A has a groove on the inner surface, the chamber 36 that receives the pin 20, and parallel to the axis A2 of the pin 20, serving as a stripping device 11 of the coaxial cable 10.

Finally, 24-35. 1, the tongues 71 of the connecting terminals 22 are in front of the corresponding holes 70, as illustrated in FIG. This solution provides a more permanent contact between the central core 11 of the coaxial cable 10 and the terminal block 22, while allowing the pulling of the central core by tightening the coaxial cable 10.

With respect to the other features, this embodiment is similar to that described above, and the assembly is also carried out as previously described.

However, if desired, the protrusion 32, which was previously star-shaped, can be replaced by a simple round protrusion, and its function is limited to keeping the contact member 24 'in place and thereby contributing to an appropriate quality of electrical contact.

Otherwise, as shown in FIG. 36, the flaps 62 of the clamping rib 20 of the pin 20 may also be provided on the intermediate portion 54 of the shaft 44 for axial positioning of the pin. Thus, both ends of the intermediate section 54 form a shoulder 55, similar to the one shown in FIGS. FIG.

However, in order to insert the intermediate section 54 into the gap 82 between the arms 83 of the bushing 50 ', so that the arms 83 can insert the pin 20 as a stop, the intermediate section 54 is of a reduced length, substantially corresponding to the width of the gap 82, or slightly shorter.

In the foregoing, it has been assumed that the contact elements 19 associated with the connector sleeves 18 are relatively rigid so as not to bend or only slightly, as a result of the pin 20, to release the gap between the coaxial cable 10 and the connector sleeve 18. This gap, as illustrated, may be formed on the opposite side of the pin 18 of the pin 18.

Alternatively, however, the contact elements 19 may also have some flexibility to allow the coaxial cable 10 to be pressed on the side of the connector sleeves 18 when the actuator 20 is actuated, on the opposite side of the 20 pin.

In a further embodiment, which is not shown separately, one of the contact elements 19, for example, both, may be a contact piece which is separate from the body body 16A.

In a further alternative, not shown, independently of one another, but possibly combined with it, one of the contact elements 19, for example, both, may be in the connector sleeve 18 on the opposite side of the pin 20.

Finally, in a further variant not shown, the pin 20 may have at least two clamping ribs 21 along the axis of rotation A2 of the pin 20

EN 222 221 B1 is displaced and shifted relative to one another in axial direction.

In other words, in order to use coaxial cables of different outer diameters 10, the distance D of the edge of the clamp 21 changes from the axis about the pin 20, measured along the planar rays of the arrangement. In general, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and described above, or simply mentioned, but extends to all variations and / or combinations thereof.

For example, instead of a one-piece pin, the tap used can consist of two parts, one of which can form the shaft and the other the clamping rib or ribs.

Furthermore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to single-piece coupling arrangements, such as a socket or plug connector, but also to connector arrangements that are incorporated into a receiver and serve to supply or supply them. Finally, as shown, the connector arrangement according to the invention is provided with two connector sleeves, each of which may receive a coaxial cable, the connector arrangement may also be used to connect these coaxial cables.

In this case, there is no need for the connector arrangement to have an output socket, since one of the sockets itself forms an input socket, while the other socket forms an outlet socket. Generally, the number of output sockets may be independent of the number of socket sleeves.
