Abstract
A coaxial cable connector includes a connector housing configured to receive a coaxial cable having inner and outer conductors, and a ground shield including a plurality of walls cooperating to define a shielded chamber. The connector housing is received within the shielded chamber, and the walls are configured to be connected to the outer conductor of the coaxial cable. The coaxial cable connector also includes a center blade contact having a flat planar body, wherein the center blade contact is configured to be connected to the inner conductor of the coaxial cable. The center blade contact is supported by the connector housing between the walls of the ground shield in a stripline geometry. At least one of the walls includes a compensating tab extending inward therefrom, wherein the compensating tab is configured to be positioned proximate at least one of the center blade contact and the inner conductor of the coaxial cable.
