  • Patent number: 11398706
    Abstract: A connector includes: an internal contact disposed at an inner position in a radial direction; an external contact disposed at an outer position in the radial direction; and an insulator disposed between the internal and external contacts. At least one of the internal and external contacts includes, on one side in the axial direction, a mating part to be mated with a corresponding counterpart contact at a predetermined radial contact pressure. The insulator includes a first insulator part exposed to the one side in the axial direction, and a second insulator part disposed on the other side in the axial direction relative to the first insulator part. The first insulator part is made of an elastic material capable of being easily deformed elastically in the radial direction as compared to the second insulator part.
