Abstract

A coaxial RF connector system comprises RF connectors with inner and outer conductors providing a galvanic contact. An outer conductor of a first connector has a plurality of longitudinal slits forming a plurality of spring-loaded contact elements which contact a solid outer conductor of a second connector. The first connector has a centering sleeve which is one monolithic part with the outer conductor for centering the solid outer conductor of the second connector. An insulation sleeve is provided between the centering sleeve and the solid outer conductor. This prevents a galvanic contact and improves PIM.
