Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of induction soldering an inner conductor of a coaxial cable to an inner contact of a right angle coaxial connector includes: (a) providing a coaxial connector, the coaxial connector including an outer conductor body and an inner contact, the inner contact defining a mating axis, the inner contact further comprising a blind hole with an open end; (b) providing a coaxial cable, the coaxial cable including an inner conductor, a dielectric circumferentially surrounding the inner conductor, and an outer conductor circumferentially surrounding the dielectric; (c) inserting the coaxial cable into the coaxial connector such that an end of the inner conductor is positioned in the blind hole of the inner contact and perpendicular to the mating axis; and (d) heating the blind hole of the inner conductor to melt solder present in the blind hole to form a solder joint between the inner conductor and the inner contact.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
That which is claimed is: 1. A method of soldering an inner conductor of a coaxial cable to an inner contact of a right angle coaxial connector, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a coaxial connector, the coaxial connector including an outer conductor body and an inner contact, the inner contact defining a mating axis, the inner contact further comprising a blind hole with an open end; (b) providing a coaxial cable, the coaxial cable including an inner conductor, a dielectric circumferentially surrounding the inner conductor, and an outer conductor circumferentially surrounding the dielectric; (c) inserting the coaxial cable into the coaxial connector such that an end of the inner conductor is positioned in the blind hole of the inner contact, the inner conductor being substantially perpendicular to the mating axis; and (d) heating the blind hole of the inner conductor to melt solder present in the blind hole to form a solder joint between the inner conductor and the inner contact; wherein the heating step comprises heating the blind hole with an induction soldering element inserted into a hole in the outer conductor body; wherein the induction soldering element is inserted through the hole along an axis that is generally parallel with the mating axis. 2. The method defined in claim 1 , wherein the inserting step comprises lowering the coaxial cable into the blind hole. 3. The method defined in claim 1 , further comprising the step of positioning the coaxial connector in a fixture prior to step (c). 4. The method defined in claim 1 , wherein the induction soldering element comprises two straight segments and an arcuate segment that is positioned below the blind hole. 5. The method defined in claim 1 , wherein step (a) includes providing the coaxial connector with solder in the blind hole of the inner contact. 6. The method defined in claim 1 , wherein the induction soldering element includes two straight segments, two upwardly extending segments, and a connecting segment that is positioned above the blind hole.
