Abstract

A flexible coaxial cable has a special plug connector with a tensile strength comparable to that of the cable at the connecting point to the cable. This plug connector (14) consists of a nipple (1) which is threaded with a plug sleeve (3). Between these two plug elements is arranged a contact ring (2) which is soldered to the covering (23). This contact ring (2) includes a bore (13), through which the soldering can be optically controlled and the vapors can be vented during soldering. The end surfaces of the contact ring (2) and the cable dielectric (21) are face-turned. Accordingly, the cable lengths can also be precisely determined. The exposed inner conductor (20) is soldered to a plug pin (4). The plug dielectric (5), plug pin (4) and the plug housing (3) itself are held in rigid positions in the plug housing (3) by means of a bore (10) filled with epoxy resin (9) and by a constriction (11) in the plug pin (4). This plug connector (14) also permits a precise control of impedance adaptation during and after soldering.
