Abstract
A coradial connector is disclosed. The coradial connector system includes a plug and socket. The plug has a plug housing, a plug process conductor, a plug signal conductor disposed coaxially with the plug process conductor, and a plug insulator disposed coaxially with the plug process conductor, between the plug process conductor and signal conductor. The socket includes a socket housing, a socket process conductor, a socket signal conductor disposed coaxially with the socket process conductor, and a socket insulator disposed coaxially with the socket process conductor, between the socket process conductor and signal conductor.
