Abstract: A coaxial connector comprises a contact electrically connected with a core of a coaxial cable, a shell electrically connected with a shield of the cable, and a housing that supports the contact and insulates the contact from the shell. The capacitance between the portion consisting of the contact and the part of the core connected thereto together with an insulator exposed out of the shield, and the shell, is adjusted by a capacitance adjustment plate so that the coaxial cable has characteristic impedance of a predetermined value.

Abstract: A board-to-board electrical connector is so constructed that when connectors 2 and 3 are fitted to each other, capacitive coupling plates 24 and 34 are brought into the state in which they partly confront each other, with a space between each other, and also a coupling capacitance between the capacitive coupling plates 24 and 34 is adjusted by adjusting an area formed by partly confronting portions of the capacitive coupling plates 24 and 34 and a distance between the partly confronting portions of the capacitive coupling plates 24 and 34. With this construction, the board-to-board electrical connector having a specified band-pass characteristic is achieved.

Abstract: A connector unit for a high frequency radio apparatus having a housing, a first internal antenna, a radio unit, and an external antenna. The connector unit includes: a printed board having a first microstrip line and a second microstrip line; a fixed contact provided on the printed board; a movable contact provided on the printed board; and a socket. In the connector unit, when the external antenna is inserted into the socket, a distal end of the external antenna enters between the movable contact and fixed contact, and abuts on and presses the movable contact to separate it from the fixed contact. In contrast, when the external antenna is drawn from the socket, the movable contact abuts on the fixed contact. Thus, an antenna switching mechanism can be realized with a simple configuration. The first internal antenna and external antenna can be used in an optimum condition.

Abstract: A contact 4 for a PGA socket 1 is formed with a plate-like base portion 41, a pair of projecting portions 42a, 42b provided continuously at one end of the base portion 41 to extend in a direction substantially equal to the base portion, a turned portion 43 provided continuously at the other end of the base portion 41 to face the base portion 41, and a tail portion 44 provided continuously at the other end of the base portion 41 not to face the base portion 41. The turned portion 43 is provided with a contact portion 43a contacting a pin of a PGA package on a surface of the turned portion 43 not facing the base portion 41. This prevents flux from adhering on the contact portion 43a of the contact 4 when the contact 4 is soldered on a board.
