Abstract
A signal contact member and a ground contact member to which a center conductor and an outer conductor of a coaxial cable are connected are supported by an insulating housing member. The ground contact member has an annular fitting portion that fits and connects to the ground contact portion of a mate connector device. The annular fitting portion is provided with an opening for disposing a center conductor connection portion of the signal contact member. A shell portion of a ground contact member or an insulating housing member is provided with a conductive member given a ground potential. The conductive member partially fills the opening in the annular fitting portion.
Claims20
A coaxial connector device comprising:
- a conductive signal contact member;
- a conductive ground contact member;
- and an insulating housing member holding the signal contact member and accommodated in the ground contact member,
- wherein the signal contact member comprises:
- a connection portion configured to be connected to a center conductor of a coaxial cable;
- and
- a contact portion configured to contact a signal contact portion of a mate connector device,
- wherein the ground contact member comprises:
- an annular fitting portion accommodating the contact portion and configured to be fitted to a ground contact portion of the mate connector device;
- a shell portion configured to accommodate at least a part of an end of the insulating housing member and an end of the coaxial cable outside the annular fitting portion;
- a clamping portion configured to retain at least an end of the insulating housing member within the shell portion;
- an opening provided in the annular fitting portion and coupling an interior of the annular fitting portion with an interior of the shell portion;
- a first conductive portion configured to:
- fill at least a part of the opening to surround the contact portion with the annular fitting portion;
- and
- contact the ground contact portion when the annular fitting portion fits the ground contact portion;
- and
- a second conductive portion configured to:
- fill at least a part of a gap between the first conductive portion and the clamping portion;
- and
- electrically connect the first conductive portion to the clamping portion,
- wherein the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion are integrally formed with the annular fitting portion, the shell portion, and the clamping portion.
