Radio frequency connector assembly and cable television amplifier

The present invention is directed to a connector assembly comprising a connector component outer diameter that is increased relative to an equivalent G-type connector and a receptacle component (also referred to as locknut) inner diameter that is increased relative to an equivalent G-type receptacle to achieve higher current carrying capacity and target frequencies, for example up to 3.0 GHz. In a preferred example, this results in a connector assembly consistent with the present invention having a connector component with an outer diameter of at least 10.70 mm, more preferably 10.76 +/-0.01 mm, rather than a 9.4 mm diameter of an existing G-type connector. Although the diameter is increased, the close-fitting assembly consistent with the invention can reach 75 ohm characteristic impedance so as to maintain rated signal quality. 本发明是针对一种连接器组件，包含相对于等效G型连接器具有增大的连接器部件外直径和相对于等效G型插座增大的插座部件(也被称为锁紧螺帽)内直径，以实现更高的电流承载能力和例如高达3.0GHz的目标频率。在一个较佳例子中，这导致与本发明一致的连接器组件具有一个外直径至少为10.70毫米，更优选为10.76±0.01毫米的连接器部件，而不是现有G型连接器的9.4毫米直径。
