  • Patent number: 6902408
    Abstract: A coaxial electrical connector comprises an outer conductor (10) having a tubular section (11); a central conductor (20) having a contact section (21) extending in the axial direction in the tubular section (11); and a dielectric block (30) molded to hold together both the conductors (10, 20). The central conductor (20) has a radial section (22) extending outwardly in the radial direction from the bottom of the contact section (21) and a connection portion (23A) on the bottom face of the radial section (22) for contact with a circuit board. The central conductor 20 has a surface-processed portion so as to form at least one of a raised portion (24) and an indented portion (22A) and is in contact with the dielectric block at the surface-processed portion.

  • Patent number: 6508668
    Abstract: A connector comprises a dielectric block (20) having an inner cover section (23) having a length smaller than the diameter of a cylindrical section (31) of an outer conductor (30). The height of a connection section (12) of a terminal (10) placed on the top face (25) of the dielectric block (200 is smaller than the diameter of a dielectric member (C2) of a cable. An annular space (2) is formed between the cylindrical section (31) and the body section (21) to receive the contact section of a mating connector. The annular space communicates with the cable accommodation space of the connector, and the cable (C) is exposed to the annular space.
