Coaxial connector and coaxial connector incorporating coaxial cables

A coaxial connector configured to enable a plurality of coaxial cables to connect to the coaxial connector in parallel, the coaxial cables each including a central conductor, an outer conductor surrounding the central conductor, and an insulating coating disposed between the central conductor and the outer conductor, the coaxial connector comprising:

• an internal terminal connected to the central conductor of each of the plurality of coaxial cables;
• an external terminal connected to the outer conductor of each of the plurality of coaxial cables, the external terminal including
• a holding portion that holds the plurality of coaxial cables, and
• a plurality of crimping portions disposed to correspond to the plurality of coaxial cables, each crimping portion being divided into a first tab that crimps the outer conductor of the corresponding coaxial cable and a second tab that crimps the insulating coating of the corresponding coaxial cable, such that
• one of the crimping portions corresponding to one of the coaxial cables disposed outermost in an arrangement direction of the plurality of coaxial cables is formed from a plate member bent to follow an outer circumference of the one of the coaxial cables,
• the one of the crimping portions includes a connection portion connectable with the holding portion at a portion between both end portions of the one of the crimping portions in the arrangement direction of the plurality of coaxial cables, and
• the one of the crimping portions includes an inner hook and an outer hook, the inner hook is shorter than the outer hook and extends inward in the arrangement direction from a point of intersection between the connection portion connectable with the holding portion and a virtual straight line orthogonal to the arrangement direction and passing a center of the one of the coaxial cables, in a cross-sectional view orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the one of the coaxial cables, and the outer hook extends outward in the arrangement direction from the point of intersection;
• and
• an insulation member disposed between the internal terminal and the external terminal.
