Abstract
A coaxial connector includes a case having an inserting opening, a terminal assembly received in the case and defining a mating opening facing the inserting opening of the case, and an elastic member disposed between the case and the terminal assembly. The elastic member provides elastic forces in a radial direction of the terminal assembly to keep the terminal assembly in a first position in a free state of the terminal assembly, and the elastic member push the terminal assembly to shift to a second position different from the first position in the radial direction in a mated state of terminal assembly when the coaxial connector is mated with a complementary connector.
Claims18
A coaxial connector comprising:
- a case having an inserting opening;
- a terminal assembly received in the case and defining a mating opening facing the inserting opening of the case;
- and
- an elastic member disposed between the case and the terminal assembly;
- wherein the elastic member provides elastic forces in a radial direction of the terminal assembly to keep the terminal assembly in a first position in a free state of the terminal assembly, and the elastic member shifts the terminal assembly to a second position different from the first position in the radial direction in a mated state of the terminal assembly when the coaxial connector is mated with a complementary connector.
A coaxial connector comprising:
- a case comprising a top wall defining an inserting opening, a sidewall and a bottom commonly defining a receiving cavity, the bottom wall being made from conductive material and adapted for being non-moveably and electrically mounted on a printed circuit board;
- a terminal assembly moveably received in the receiving cavity and electrically connected with the bottom wall of the case;
- and
- an elastic member disposed in the receiving cavity;
- wherein the elastic member elastically presses against the terminal assembly to urge the terminal assembly to shift in a radial direction of the coaxial connector.
