6 Claims, 4 Drawing Figures TERMINAL CONNECTOR AND METHOD OF ATTACHING SAME TO COAXIAL CABLE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. The Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improved terminal connection for coaxial cables and in particular to a terminal connection which is secured to the cable in a single crimping operation.
2. The Prior Art The known terminal connections for coaxial cables have required several assembly and crimping steps. The conventional method of assembly has been to place a center contact on the center conductor of a prestripped coaxial cable and crimp the contact to the conductor. The contact is next inserted into a tubular insulating member which is then inserted into a first metal ferrule. The shielding of the coaxial cable is placed in contact with the outer surface of the first metal ferrule and surrounded by a second annular ferrule of malleable metal. A second crimping step is carried out to join the ferrules and shielding. Examples of this multi-step assembly of terminals on coaxial cables may be found in US. Pat. Nos. 2,901,528 and 3,551,882.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION The present invention is a terminal connection for coaxial cable and includes a center contact, one end of which is slotted to receive the center conductor of the cable and the other end of which is formed for mating contact with a cooperating terminal connection; a cylindrical dielectric member having an axial bore adapted to receive the contact pin therein; an inner ferrule having a cylindrical body portion with an outer and an inner annular flange at one end thereof; and a cylindrical outer ferrule. The center contact is placed in the dielectric member and the assembly thereof is placed in one end of the inner ferrule. The center conductor of a prestripped coaxial cable is received in the slotted portion of the contact, the shielding conductor engaging the outer surface of the inner ferrule body, and the outer ferrule is positioned to surround the shielding conductor. The thus assembled terminal connection and cable are secured together with a single crimping operation which both reduces the circular section of the terminal and engages the split ends of the contact with the conductor.
It is an object of the invention to produce a terminal connection for coaxial cables which can be secured to both the center conductor and the shielding of such a cable in a single crimping operation.
It is another object of the present invention to produce a coaxial cable terminal connection having a slotted center contact adapted to receive the center conductor of the coaxial cable and to be joined therewith by a crimping force applied to the outside of the assembled terminal connection.
It is a further object of the present invention to produce a coaxial cable terminal connection which may be readily and economically produced and engaged with a coaxial cable.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing the principal components of the subject terminal connector and a coaxial cable;
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the first step in mounting the subject terminal connector on a coaxial cable;
FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the subject terminal connector positioned on a coaxial cable prior to crimping; and
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the subject terminal connector after crimping.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to FIG. 1, the subject terminal connector includes a center contact pin 10 having one end 12 adapted to make proper electrical contact with a complementing coaxial cable receptacle and a slot 14 in the other end extending transversely across the circumference of the pin. The slot is adapted to receive the center conductor of a coaxial cable therein. An annular barb 16 projects outwardly from a central portion of the pin and is tapered toward the slotted end of the pin. Cylindrical plug 18 is formed of dielectric material, such as Teflon, and has an axial through passage 20 adapted to receive the center contact therein. One end of the plug has a conically shaped recess 22 while the other end 24 of the plug can be profiled as desired. The inner ferrule 26 includes a cylindrical body 28 one end of which has an integral outer annular flange 30 and an integral inner annular flange 32. The body is also provided with one or more inwardly directed dimples 34 and outer annular grooves 36. The outer ferrule 38 is simply an open ended cylindrical member formed from malleable metal.
The coaxial cable 40 is conventional and includes a central conductor 42 fixedly mounted in a dielectric sleeve 44 which is in turn surrounded by braided shielding 46 and covered by an insulating layer 48.
The pin 10 is preassembled in the plug 18 by forcing the pin, slotted end first, into the axial bore in the plug. The taper of the barb l6 aids in this insertion and the barb prevents the withdrawal of the pin from the plug. The assembly of the pin 10 and plug 18 is fitted into the body portion 28 of the inner ferrule 26 with the conically recessed end 22 of the plug positioned to be closely adjacent the end of the body 28. The plug is held in this position against free movement by dimple The end of the coaxial cable is prepared by stripping connector and the center conductor 42 is guided by the conical surface 22 into the through passage 20 and between the two portions of the slotted end 14 of pin 10. Continued relative movement of the cable and connector brings dielectric sleeve 44 of the cable into contact with plug 18 and drives the latter into the inner ferrule 26 until end 24 of the plug 18 engages inner flange 32. The flared braid 46 slides over the outer surface of the inner ferrule 26 during this movement. The outer ferrule 38 is then moved forward until it engages outer annular flange 30, FIG. 3. The terminal connector is now ready for crimping.
The crimping of the terminal connector is effected by well known means, for example as taught by US. Pat. No. 3,010,183. Force is applied to the terminal connector, as schematically indicated by arrows in FIG. 4, to deform the outer and inner ferrules and transmit a crimping force to the slotted end of the center contact pin to fix it on the center conductor of the cable. The original round shape of the terminal connector is reduced in circular configuration during crimping. Both the outer and inner ferrules and the center contact pin are thus secured to the shielding and center conductor, respectively, of the cable in a single operation.
The embodiment of the inventive terminal connector shown and discussed is the plug or male half of a disconnectable coaxial connector. However, it is understood that the inventive concept may also be applied to the receptacle or female half of a disconnectable coaxial connector, or to any other connector configuration adapted to a particular function, without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. The present embodiment is therefor intended to be illustrative by way of a specific example and not as a limitation to the changes of configuration which fall within the scope of the invention.
