Abstract
A connector (10), for example, an F-connector, has a barrel (12), which may be threaded, a front flange (14), a frame insert (16), a rear flange (20), a body section (22) between the frame insert (16) and the rear flange, an insulator (60) in the barrel, and a center conductor (24) running through the insulator. The body section forms a slot (18) between the frame insert and the rear flange. The rear flange has two sections (20A, 20B), which mirror each other. A section may be a rectangular block with a curved cutoff; the curved cutouts face each other and, together, provide a passageway for the conductor. The conductor is preferably beryllium-copper with a tin plating. The insulator is preferably a high-temperature thermoplastic, such as a heat-resistant polyamide nylon which can withstand a temperature of 270° C. for 1 minute.
