Abstract: Disclosed is an electrical connector for use with a coaxial cable. In one aspect, the electrical connector is for use with a coaxial cable having a central signal conductor and an insulative core tube surrounding the central signal conductor such that an air gap is provided between the central conductor and the core tube, the electrical connector comprising a substantially tubular hollow body having a first end and a second end, and a solder cup disposed adjacent to said second end of said hollow body, said solder cup having a flared portion distal to said second end of said hollow body, wherein the flared portion is configured to span the air gap between the central conductor and the core tube.

Abstract: Disclosed is a substantially tubular socket contact. In one aspect, the electrical contact has a longitudinal axis and includes a substantially tubular, hollow body having a first end and a second end. The first end contains a bounded aperture. The body has at least two elongated slots and at least two contact members disposed along the longitudinal axis. At least one the contact member has a compound curve. The electrical connector also has a solder cup disposed adjacent to the second end of the body. The solder cup has at least one flared portion distal to the second end of the body. The electrical connector can be made using stamping and forming processes. In another aspect of the invention, a terminated electrical connector is provided.
