  • Patent number: 5062811
    Abstract: Herein disclosed is an electrical coaxial connector for mounting on a printed circuit board, the connector shell being capacitively coupled with the board. The coupling function is accomplished using a resilient conductive clip (32) which holds electrical capacitor elements (33) in pressure contact against the shell (9) and maintains contact with connector conductive posts (31) inserted into the board. The coupling serves to drain high frequency radio-frequency voltages from the connector to the board.
