Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a dielectric coupling sleeve configured to capacitively couple a first electrical conductor to a second electrical conductor. The dielectric coupling sleeve includes a first sleeve section and a second sleeve section. The first sleeve section has a first diameter. A receiving space is closed on one side and formed in the first sleeve section. The receiving section is configured to receive an insertion of the first electrical conductor. The second sleeve section has a second diameter. The second diameter is smaller than the first diameter. The second sleeve section is configured for insertion into the conductor cavity of the second electrical conductor.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A high frequency connection adapter comprising:
a dielectric coupling sleeve comprising a first sleeve section and a second sleeve section;
a first high frequency connector having a first housing and a first inner conductor arranged in a receiving space of the first housing, wherein the first inner conductor is inserted into a receiving space of the first sleeve section and the second sleeve section of the dielectric coupling sleeve, wherein the second sleeve section is closed on one side and fills at least a portion of the receiving space of the first housing, and wherein the receiving space extends at least partly into the second sleeve section, wherein the first electrical conductor is retained in the receiving space closed on the one side by a first frictional connection;
a second high frequency connector having a second inner conductor and a second housing, wherein the second inner conductor comprises a conductor cavity into which the second sleeve section of the dielectric coupling sleeve is inserted, and wherein the second sleeve section is retained in the conductor cavity by a second frictional connection; and
an isolating element configured to galvanically isolate the second inner conductor and the second housing.

2. The high frequency connection adapter according to claim 1 , wherein the isolating element comprises a dielectric material selected from the group consisting of: polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyethylene (PE), polyamide (PA), and a ceramic.

3. The high frequency connection adapter according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an adapter housing comprising an electroconductive portion, wherein the first housing and the second housing are electroconductively connected by the electroconductive portion of the adapter housing.

4. The high frequency connection adapter according to claim 3 , wherein the adapter housing further comprises:
a connection for connecting a ground wire.

5. The high frequency connection adapter according to claim 1 , wherein the first inner conductor further comprises:
a first end that comprises a recess; and
an second end configured to enter the receiving space of the dielectric coupling sleeve.

6. The high frequency connection adapter according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an adapter housing, wherein the first housing or the second housing is press-fit to the adapter housing.

7. The high frequency connection adapter according to claim 6 , further comprising a rubber seal ring arranged on the adapter housing.

8. The high frequency connection adapter according to claim 1 , wherein the second inner conductor further comprises:
a first inner conductor section, in which the conductor cavity is formed, fire first inner conductor section having a third outer diameter; and
a second inner conductor section having a fourth outer diameter, wherein the fourth outer diameter is smaller than the third outer diameter.

9. The high frequency connection adapter according to claim 8 , wherein the second inner conductor exhibits a jump in outer diameter at a transition between the first inner conductor section and the second inner conductor section.

10. The high frequency connection adapter according to claim 1 , wherein one end of the conductor cavity of the second inner conductor is formed in one of: a frustoconical shape, a conical shape, or a domed shape.
