Connector

A connector to be connected to a ground line and a signal line formed on a board, the connector comprising:

• a housing;
• a ground pin provided inside a hole in the housing, the ground pin including
• a first cylindrical part;
• a first cylindrical terminal that has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the first cylindrical part, and is telescopically movable into the first cylindrical part in a direction of a first central axis of the first cylindrical part;
• and
• a first elastic member provided inside the first cylindrical part, the first elastic member connecting the first cylindrical terminal and the first cylindrical part and extending in the direction of the first central axis in a meandering and cylindrical manner along an internal surface of the first cylindrical part, the first elastic member being compressible in the direction of the first central axis;
• and
• a signal pin formed of a one-piece metal plate, and is held in the housing, the signal pin including
• a second cylindrical part;
• a second cylindrical terminal that has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the second cylindrical part, and is telescopically movable into the second cylindrical part in a direction of a second central axis of the second cylindrical part;
• and
• a second elastic member provided inside the second cylindrical part, the second elastic member connecting the second cylindrical terminal and the second cylindrical part and extending in the direction of the second central axis in a meandering and cylindrical manner along an internal surface of the second cylindrical part, the second elastic member being compressible in the direction of the second central axis,
• wherein the signal pin is provided concentrically with the first elastic member and the first cylindrical part,
• the first cylindrical terminal and the second cylindrical terminal extend outward from an end of the housing, and
• the first cylindrical part and the second cylindrical part are connected to the ground line and the signal line, respectively, with the first cylindrical terminal and the second cylindrical terminal being in contact with the board and compressed in the direction of the first central axis and the direction of the second central axis, respectively.
