Abstract
A coaxial contact assembly (100,100',100") is shown in which the outer cylindrical barrel (102,102',102'") is adapted to be fixedly mounted in a support and with a ground plunger (104,104") telescopically and slidably received therein and with an interface ductor member (106,106") in turn telescopically and slidably received within the bore of the ground plunger. The interface member is fixedly attached to and in electrical engagement with the braid layer of a coaxial cable (1) and is formed with a plurality of elongated, longitudinally extending fingers (106b) which extend radially outwardly a selected amount so that when received in the bore of the ground plunger they are biased into intimate electrical engagement therewith. An inverse electrical connection between the ductor member and the ground plunger is shown with fingers (104b') of ground plunger (104') biased into electrical engagement with a solid tubular inductor member (106b'). A dielectric spacer member (110,110') is mounted on the signal sleeve (16) and prevents electrical shorting between the interface ductor member (106,106") and the inner contact plunger (18). The inner, or signal, plunger (18) is maintained in coa…
