Abstract: A coaxial connector for mounting on a circuit board that includes an elongated bar-like center connector whose first end is formed to receive a center connector in a counterpart coaxial connector, and whose second end is provided with an attachment pin to connect the center connector to a conductor tab on the circuit board surface, whereby the attachment pin will be positioned substantially parallel to the conductor tab, and a pipe-like connector whose first end is formed to surround the center connector in order to receive a pipe-like connector in the counterpart coaxial connector, and whose second end is provided with a grounding pin for connecting the pipe-like connector to a grounding tab on the circuit board surface. In this context, a "bar-like center connector" refers to a straight, elongated connector which may be hollow or solid depending on whether the coaxial connector is male or female.
