Electrical connector assembly and method therefor

A method for connecting an electrical circuit having a portion thereof disposed upon a circuit board to an electrical cable, or, alternately, to a coaxial transmission line, said method comprising the steps of:

• forming a first receiving port to extend through the circuit board;
• forming a second receiving port to extend through the circuit board at a location spaced-apart from the first receiving port;
• positioning a socket member comprised of an electrically-conductive material to extend through the first receiving port to be supported thereat, the socket member for receiving the electrical cable, or, alternately, a coaxial conductor pin of the coaxial transmission line therein, thereby to permit electrical connection of the electrical cable, or, alternately, of the coaxial conductor pin therewith;
• and
• positioning a clip member comprised of an electrically-conductive material to extend through the second receiving port to be supported thereat, the clip member for engaging with a coaxial tube which surrounds the coaxial conductor pin of the coaxial transmission line, thereby to connect electrically the coaxial tube of the coaxial transmission line with the conductive line leading to the second receiving port.
