Electrical connector assembly and method therefor

An electrical connector assembly comprising:

• an electrical circuit having at least one circuit path;
• a substrate having a circuit path of the at least one circuit path of the electrical circuit disposed thereupon, a first receiving port formed to extend through the substrate, and a second receiving port, spaced-apart from the first receiving port and also formed to extend through the substrate, the circuit path of the electrical circuit disposed upon the substrate having a conductive line leading to the first receiving port;
• an electrically-conductive socket member positioned to extend through the first receiving port of the substrate thereat, such that, when positioned to extend therethrough, the socket member abuts against the circuit path disposed upon the face surface of the substrate;
• an electrically-conductive clip member comprised of a semi-circular body portion and at least one projecting prong member formed to extend beyond the semi-circular body portion wherein the at least one projecting prong is positioned to extend through the second receiving port to be supported thereat, the at least one projecting prong-member having an end portion thereof forming a spring finger;
• and
• an electrical cable and a coaxial transmission line having a coaxial conductor pin and a coaxial tube positioned thereabout, the electrical cable and the coaxial transmission line being alternately connectable to the electrical circuit when an end of the electrical cable is inserted into the socket member or, alternately, the coaxial conductor pin is inserted into the socket member and the coaxial tube clippingly engages with the spring finger formed at the end portion of the at least one projecting prong of the clip member.
