Abstract
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.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
312 words
A method for making of a plug connector for a coaxial cable having an inner conductor (20), a dielectric layer (21), a first covering (22) made of an overlapping coiled metal foil band, a second covering (23) made of woven wire, an exterior cover (24), a nipple (1) surrounding the exterior cover, a clamping contact ring (2) surrounding the second covering, a plug pin (4) connected to the inner conductor (20), a plug housing (3) electrically connected with at least one of the two coverings (22, 23), the plug housing having a bore (10), and a connecting sleeve (8) mounted on the plug housing (3), characterized by the cutting of the exterior cover (24) at three locations (31, 32, 33) in the connection area of the cable (15) and removing the center cover section (35) for the purpose of exposing the second covering (23) and tinning this exposed portion of the second covering (23), by removing the end-most cover section (36) and sliding on first the nipple (1) until it is over the exterior cover (24) and then sliding on the contact ring (2), by removing the remaining cover section (34) and pressing the contact ring (2) against the exterior cover (24) and soldering the contact ring (2) to the coverings (22, 23), then cutting the cable (15) shortly in front of the contact ring (2) and face-turning the cut surface down to the inner conductor (20) with a simultaneous shortening of the contact ring (2), then characterized by attaching the plug pin (4) to the inner conductor (20) and soldering same, and further by attaching the plug housing (3) to the cable (15) and threading same with the nipple (1) and then casting the bore (10) in the plug housing (3) with epoxy resin and finally by mounting the connecting sleeve (8) with a circlip (6) and a sealing ring (7).

A method for making of a plug connector for a coaxial cable having an inner conductor (20), a dielectric layer (21), a first covering (22) made of an overlapping coiled metal foil band, a second covering (23) made of woven wire, an exterior cover (24), a nipple (1) surrounding the exterior cover, a clamping contact ring (2) surrounding the second covering, a plug pin (4) connected to the inner conductor (20), a plug housing (3) electrically connected with at least one of the two coverings (22, 23), the plug housing having a bore (10), and a connecting sleeve (8) mounted on the plug housing (3), characterized by the cutting of the exterior cover (24) at three locations (31, 32, 33) in the connection area of the cable (15) and removing the center cover section (35) for the purpose of exposing the second covering (23) and tinning this exposed portion of the second covering (23), by removing the end-most cover section (36) and sliding on first the nipple (1) until it is over the exterior cover (24) and then sliding on the contact ring (2), by removing the remaining cover section (34) and pressing the contact ring (2) against the exterior cover (24) and soldering the contact ring (2) to the coverings (22, 23), then cutting the cable (15) shortly in front of the contact ring (2) and face-turning the cut surface down to the inner conductor (20) with a simultaneous shortening of the contact ring (2), then characterized by attaching the plug pin (4) to the inner conductor (20) and soldering same, and further by attaching the plug housing (3) to the cable (15) and threading same with the nipple (1) and then casting the bore (10) in the plug housing (3) with epoxy resin and finally by mounting the connecting sleeve (8) with a circlip (6) and a sealing ring (7).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
Method according to patent claim 1, characterized in that the cable (15) is cut at a distance of about 1.8 mm in front of the contact ring (2), and in that during the face-turning the contact ring (2) is shortened by 0.1-0.2 mm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
Method according to patent claim 2, characterized in that the soldering of the contact ring (2) with the coverings (22, 23) is done with soft solder having a melting temperature of 180° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
Method according to patent claim 3, characterized in that the soldering of the plug pin (4) to the inner conductor (20) takes place by resistance soldering.
