Patent number: 9692165Abstract: A coaxial connector is manufactured to have a structure in which a first resin member is not easily separated from an external terminal. A coaxial connector according to the present disclosure includes a first resin member, a second resin member attached to the first resin member, a fixed terminal and a movable terminal disposed between the first resin member and the second resin member, and an external terminal attached to outer peripheries of the first resin member and the second resin member. The external terminal includes a cylindrical accommodating portion that accommodates the first resin member, and the first resin member includes a resin engagement portion. The resin engagement portion is engaged with the accommodating portion, so that separation of the first resin member is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2015Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryo Matoba, Shogo Tokoi, Teppei Masago, Shingo Nakamura
