Panel mountable connector assembly

An RF connector assembly comprising:

• a circuit board defining an RF antenna;
• a coaxial plug connector electrically arid mechanically coupled to the circuit board, the plug connector being matable with a coaxial jack connector securely attached to a device, the plug connector comprising:
• an outer body having a mating cavity configured to receive the jack connector along a mating axis, the outer body having a latching element configured to couple to the jack connector, and the outer body having a flange extending from the outer body, the flange having an opening;
• and
• a center contact received in the cavity arid extending along the mating axis, the center contact having a mating end for mating with the jack connector and a mounting end coupled to the circuit board;
• and
• a fastener received in the opening of the flange, the fastener being configured to engage the device to securely couple the outer body to the device.

An RF connector system for a device, the RF connector system comprising:

• a jack connector being configured to be mounted internally within the device proximate a port in a panel of the device, the jack connector having an inner conductor and an outer conductor coaxially aligned with one another, the inner and outer conductors defining a mating interface, the jack connector having a latching element;
• a plug connector having, a center contact, coupled to the inner conductor of the jack connector, the plug connector having an outer body including a latching element configured to latch to the latching element of the jack connector, the outer body includes a flange extending from the outer body;
• and
• a fastener engaging the flange and being configured to engage the panel of the device proximate to the port to securely couple the outer body to the device.
