Abstract

See full text

An environmentally sealed quick disconnect RF connector for use with hardline coaxial cable. In one embodiment the RF connector includes a chassis portion for mounting on a chassis and an adaptor portion for connection to a hardline coaxial cable. The adaptor portion and the chassis portion are configured to provide a quick disconnect electrical connection. The adaptor portion includes a locking member for locking the chassis portion of the connector and the adaptor portion of the connector together once the chassis portion and the adaptor portion have been engaged. Prior to locking, the locking member permits the chassis portion of the connector and the adaptor portion of the connector to quickly engage. Following the quick engagement of the chassis portion of the connector with the adaptor portion of the connector, the threads of the locking member engage threads on the chassis portion of the connector and compress an o-ring seated in the chassis portion of the RF connector so as to lock the adaptor portion to the chassis portion and provide an environmental seal.
