Abstract
A coaxial connector assembly (1) includes a first connector (10) and a second connector (20) mating with each other. The first connector for being mounted on a printed circuit board includes a first shell (11). A latch (114) projects outwardly from the first shell. The second connector includes a second shell (21), a conductive contact (23), and an insulative housing (22). The second shell defines at least one side plate (214) for permanently engaging with the latch of the first connector. In such an arrangement, the first connector is capable of permanently coupling with the second connector.
Claims17
A coaxial connector assembly, comprising:
- a first connector, comprising:
- a first shell forming a latch thereon;
- and
- a second connector, comprising:
- a second shell defining at least one side plate for permanently engaging with the latch;
- a conductive contact;
- and
- an insulative housing sandwiched between the second shell and the contact for retaining the contact.
An electrical connector, comprising:
- a metallic shell including a main body and a sleeve extending from the main body, wherein the sleeve defines at least one side plate;
- a conductive contact;
- and
- an insulative housing sandwiched between the metallic shell and the conductive contact for retaining the conductive contact.
An electrical connector assembly comprising:
- a printed circuit board;
- an upright tubular metallic shell mounted on said printed circuit board;
- a retaining surface formed on said shell;
- a right angle type electrical connector including a horizontal section and a vertical section extending downwardly from a distal end of said horizontal section;
- said vertical section including an inner contact coaxially enclosed by an outer shield, a complementary retaining face formed on said shield;
- wherein
- the inner contact extends downwardly into and substantially throughout an interior of said shell, and the shield extends downwardly and radially overlapped with the shell under a condition of the retaining surface being latchably engaged with the complementary retaining face so as to secure the connector and the shell together.
