  • Patent number: 8016614
    Abstract: The invention discloses a RF coaxial connector, which includes a socket and an adapter. The socket includes an outer conductor and a center conductor. The adapter includes a plug capable of being inserted into the socket. The adapter also includes an outer conductor and a center conductor that can be in contact with the outer conductor and the center conductor of the socket, respectively. A dumbbell-shaped first insulating body is disposed inside the plug of the adapter and filled between the outer conductor and the center conductor of the adapter. The first insulating body has a middle portion narrower than two end portions thereof such that an annular gap is formed between the middle portion of the first insulating body and the outer conductor of the adapter, thereby forming different impedance regions at the connection regions of the plug and the socket.
