  • Patent number: 11108199
    Abstract: A coaxial connector has a first coaxial connector portion (1) and a second coaxial connector portion (2). The first coaxial connector portion (1) has an external conductor which is designed as a coaxial socket and the distal end of which is designed as a spring cage (3) with individual spring lugs (91, 92, 93, 94, 95). The second coaxial connector portion (2) has an external conductor (6) which is designed as a coaxial plug. An electrical and mechanical connection exists between the spring lugs (91, 92, 93, 94, 95) of the first coaxial connector portion (1) and an external shell surface of the external conductor (6) of the second coaxial connector portion (2). In the region of each gap (101, 102, 103, 104, 105) that is situated between in each case two adjacent spring lugs (91, 92, 93, 94, 95), there is provided at least one shielding component (111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 111?, 112?, 113?, 114?, 115?) which is connected respectively to one of the two adjacent spring lugs (91, 92, 93, 94, 95).
