Abstract
Cable interconnection terminated by a pin or socket includes a housing, an inner conductor arranged in the housing and having a first end adapted to couple to the pin or socket, and an outer sheath adapted to couple to an outer sheath of a cable including at least one conductor, e.g., a coaxial cable, twin-axial cable or tri-axial cable. The interconnection also includes first and second pins. The first pin is arranged at a second end of the inner conductor while the second pin is electrically connected to the outer sheath. The first and second pins each have a mating portion, and both mating portions terminate at a common plane a set distance from the housing. This termination in a common plane, substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the pins, enables the cable to mate with a wide range of electronic componentry.
