Abstract: A protecting cover for coaxial connectors includes a pair of half T-shaped casing members which are pivotally connected together by a linking portion for receiving a T-type coaxial connector assembly. The protecting cover has a pair of plugs and sockets respectively formed in lateral portions of each casing member in one side just opposite to the linking portion for engaging the two casing members together to enclose the coaxial connector assembly therein. A hook is formed on the surface of one of the casing members to hang the protecting cover in an appropriate place.

Abstract: A T-shaped coaxial connector includes a T-shaped housing consisting of a longitudinal housing portion and a vertical housing portion, a socket member, two side-terminal protectors of insulating material, a plug protector, and a plug. The socket member has two side terminals, an aperture on an upper surface thereof, and a key being formed on both sides of the socket member. The side-terminal protectors are mounted on the side terminals in which a keyway on each side-terminal protector engages with the respective key on the socket member. Each side-terminal protector has an flat upper surface and the longitudinal housing portion has an inner downward-facing surface such that the socket member is prevented from rotational movement with respect to the longitudinal housing portion. The plug protector is received in the vertical housing portion and includes a lower engaging end for engaging with slots formed in the upper surface of the side-terminal protectors.
