Abstract

There is provided a coaxial connector that can ensure high airtightness without using a costly hermetic sealing component. An airtight coaxial connector includes: a resin filling space portion formed more to a coaxial cable connection side than to an insulator in an outer shell; a resin inlet that is open more to a target connector connection side than to the insulator in the outer shell and communicates with the resin filling space portion; and an airtightness resin that is filled in the resin filling space portion through the resin inlet and seals between a central conductor and the outer shell and between a dielectric of a coaxial cable and the outer shell.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An airtight coaxial connector that has a cylindrical outer shell to which an outer conductor of a coaxial cable is connected; a central contact concentrically disposed inside the outer shell and having a central conductor of the coaxial cable connected thereto; and an insulator interposed between the outer shell and the central contact, and that has the coaxial cable connected to one of two sides in an axial direction thereof and has a target connector connected to an other side, the insulator in the outer shell being placed between the two sides, the airtight coaxial connector comprising:
a resin filling space portion formed more to a coaxial cable connection side than to the insulator in the outer shell;
a resin inlet that is open more to a target connector connection side than to the insulator in the outer shell and communicates with the resin filling space portion; and
an airtightness resin that is filled in the resin filling space portion through the resin inlet and seals between the central conductor and the outer shell and between a dielectric of the coaxial cable and the outer shell.

2. The airtight coaxial connector according to claim 1 , further comprising an air release opening that is open on a target connector connection side in the outer shell and communicates with the resin filling space portion.

3. The airtight coaxial connector according to claim 1 , wherein the resin inlet and/or the air release opening are/is formed in a shape of a hole or a groove passing through the insulator in the axial direction.

4. The airtight coaxial connector according to claim 1 , wherein the central contact and the central conductor are connected to each other by soldering.

5. The airtight coaxial connector according to claim 4 , wherein
the central contact has:
a conductor insertion hole into which the central conductor is inserted; and
a block hole that is open in an outer surface of the central contact and disposed so as to communicate with the conductor insertion hole, and

the central conductor inserted into the conductor insertion hole is soldered to the central contact, and the block hole is sealed by solder.

6. The airtight coaxial connector according to claim 2 , wherein the resin inlet and/or the air release opening are/is formed in a shape of a hole or a groove passing through the insulator in the axial direction.

7. The airtight coaxial connector according to claim 2 , wherein the central contact and the central conductor are connected to each other by soldering.

8. The airtight coaxial connector according to claim 3 , wherein the central contact and the central conductor are connected to each other by soldering.

9. The airtight coaxial connector according to claim 6 , wherein the central contact and the central conductor are connected to each other by soldering.

10. The airtight coaxial connector according to claim 7 , wherein
the central contact has:
a conductor insertion hole into which the central conductor is inserted; and
a block hole that is open in an outer surface of the central contact and disposed so as to communicate with the conductor insertion hole, and

the central conductor inserted into the conductor insertion hole is soldered to the central contact, and the block hole is sealed by solder.

11. The airtight coaxial connector according to claim 8 , wherein
the central contact has:
a conductor insertion hole into which the central conductor is inserted; and
a block hole that is open in an outer surface of the central contact and disposed so as to communicate with the conductor insertion hole, and

the central conductor inserted into the conductor insertion hole is soldered to the central contact, and the block hole is sealed by solder.

12. The airtight coaxial connector according to claim 9 , wherein
the central contact has:
a conductor insertion hole into which the central conductor is inserted; and
a block hole that is open in an outer surface of the central contact and disposed so as to communicate with the conductor insertion hole, and

the central conductor inserted into the conductor insertion hole is soldered to the central contact, and the block hole is sealed by solder.
