Miniature coaxial connector assembly

A right angle coaxial cable connector for printed circuit to coaxial cable interconnect, comprising:

• a. a coaxial cable terminating unit comprising:
• a first tubular conductive body having a profiled passageway extending lengthwise therein from a forward end, and a counter bore extending through a side of said tubular body proximate a rearward end thereof and communicating with said passageway;
• a first elongate contact member seated within said first body passageway in electrical isolation from said first body, and having forward profiled mating end means and rearward profiled mating end means;
• a second elongate conductive tubular body having a forward end perpendicularly connected to said first tubular body and encompassing said counter bore and having a rearward end adapted for connection with a coaxial cable outer conductor;
• a second elongate contact member seated within said second body in electrical isolation therefrom, and having forward profiled end means for extending through said counter bore and matingly engaging said rearward profiled end means of said first contact member, and said second contact member having a rearward end adapted for connection to a coaxial cable center conductor;
• b. a printed circuit engaging unit comprising:
• third and fourth contact members each having a depending end adapted for insertion into a printed circuit board, said third contact member having an elongate profile, and said fourth contact member comprising a right angle profiled pin having a forward end adapted to mate with said forward profiled end means of said first contact member;
• a right angle profiled third tubular conductive body comprising horizontal and vertical shell portions, said vertical shell portion having an opening extending along substantially an outer vertical side thereof where through said third body receives said fourth contact member into said body generally intermediate thereof with said depending end of said fourth contact member projecting downwardly from said vertical shell portion;
• said vertical shell portion having a receptacle cavity extending upwardly into said outer side of said vertical shell portion, said cavity receiving an opposite end of said third contact member therein with said depending third contact member end projecting downward in parallel with said depending fourth contact member end.

A right angle coaxial cable connector for connection to conductive means of a printed circuit board, comprising:

• a right angle tubular conductive body means having vertical and horizontal openings in communication, said vertical opening extending from a bottom of said tubular conductive body means to a position about midway of an outer vertical side thereof, said tubular conductive body means having a contact-receiving opening in axial alignment with said vertical opening;
• dielectric means secured in said horizontal opening;
• first electrical contact means having an inner contact section and an outer contact section at right angles with respect to said inner contact section, said inner contact section disposed in said dielectric means isolating said first electrical contact means from said tubular conductive body means, said outer contact section extending through said vertical opening beyond said bottom for electrical connection with conductive means of the printed circuit board;
• and
• second electrical contact means having a first section electrically secured in said contact-receiving opening and a second section extending parallel with respect to said outer contact section and along and through said vertical opening beyond said bottom for electrical connection with other conductive means of the printed circuit board.
