Abstract: A coaxial connector for connecting a first contacting means and a second contacting means. The coaxial connector having a dielectric housing an inner conductor electrically connected to the first contacting means and resiliently biased between a second mated position and a second unmated position. An outer conductor positioned adjacent to the dielectric case and having a first outer conductor section electrically coupled with a second outer conductor section that is resiliently biased in respect to the first outer conductor section between a first mated position and a first unmated position. The second contacting means having a first contact pad that contacts the second outer conductor section when the second outer conductor section is in a mated position and a second contact pad that contacts the inner conductor section when the inner conductor section is in the mated position.
