Abstract
A socket connector includes an insulative housing having a plug-insertion opening leading to an interior plug-receiving cavity. At least one signal terminal is mounted in the housing and includes a contact portion exposed in the cavity for engaging a signal section of the coaxial plug when inserted into the cavity. A ground terminal is mounted in the housing and includes a tubular portion interengaged with a terminal portion. The tubular portion is mounted coincident with the plug-insertion opening in the housing for receiving the coaxial plug therethrough. The terminal portion has a through hole aligned with the tubular portion, and a pair of resilient contact arms are provided at the through hole for engaging a ground section of the coaxial plug.
Claims23
A socket connector for receiving a coaxial plug, comprising:
- an insulative housing having a plug-insertion opening leading to an interior plug-receiving cavity;
- at least one signal terminal mounted in the housing and including a contact portion exposed in said cavity for engaging a signal section of the coaxial plug when inserted into the cavity;
- and
- a ground terminal mounted in the housing and including a tubular portion interengaged with a terminal portion,
- said tubular portion being mounted coincident with the plug-insertion opening in the housing for receiving the coaxial plug therethrough, and
- said terminal portion having a through hole aligned with the tubular portion and a pair of resilient contact arms at the through hole for engaging a ground section of the coaxial plug.
A socket connector for receiving a coaxial plug, comprising:
- an insulative housing having a plug-insertion opening leading to an interior plug-receiving cavity;
- at least one signal terminal mounted in the housing and including a contact portion exposed in said cavity for engaging a signal section of the coaxial plug when inserted into the cavity;
- and
- a two-part ground terminal mounted in the housing and including a tubular portion and a separate and independent terminal portion,
- said tubular portion being mounted coincident with the plug-insertion opening in the housing for receiving the coaxial plug therethrough, and
- said terminal portion being generally L-shaped to define a mounting leg and a terminal leg extending at a right angle to the mounting leg, the mounting leg including a through hole aligned with the tubular portion and a pair of resilient contact arms at diametrically opposite sides of the through hole for engaging a ground section of the coaxial plug.
