Abstract:
A planar connector is constructed to permit large numbers of two part connectors to be ganged for concurrent interconnection with virtually no cross talk between adjacent connectors and minimal damage due to misalignment of the large number in the array that are concurrently connected. Cross talk is minimized by having contact of the connector elements occur in shielded regions or below the plane of contact of the opposing contact members while the engaging members are planar mating interfaces at the point of engagement, thus materially reducing wear relative to a pin and socket type contact. This feature allows these planar blind-mate connectors to operate over one hundred thousand mating cycles. Contact with antennas and printed circuits is provided, and floating inner and outer contacts provide a superior long life rotary joint providing excellent r. f. performance.
