US Patent 10424424 Coaxial radio frequency connectors for high-power handling

Coaxial radio frequency (“RF”) connectors for high-power handling are disclosed. Specifically, a high-power male coaxial connector (“HPMC”) is disclosed. The HPMC includes a center conductor, an outer conductor disposed around the center conductor, an insulating layer positioned between the center conductor and the outer conductor, and a first elastomer. The outer conductor has an outer conductor front-end (“OCFE”) and the insulating layer has an insulating layer front-end (“ILFE”). The first elastomer is positioned between the center conductor and the insulating layer. The insulating layer may include an insulating layer cavity (“ILC”) extending inward into the insulating layer from the ILFE and the first elastomer may be within the ILC.
