  • Patent number: 5580276
    Abstract: The coaxial plug connector element has a central push-in pin (5) and at least two peripheral push-in pins (7) for making a non-soldered contact between the inner conductor (1) and the outer conductor (2), respectively, and a printed circuit beard (8). An additional shielding sleeve (10) whose inner edge overlaps the outer conductor (2) is arranged on the peripheral push-in pins (7) such that it can move axially. When the plug connector component is pushed into the holes in the printed circuit board, the shielding sleeve is moved as needed and, regardless of the depth of insertion and the tolerances, provides a good contact with the printed circuit board and the outer conductor (2), ensuring that the plug connection provides reliable radio frequency shielding.
