Coaxial connector for connecting two printed-circuit boards

A twin coaxial connector for connecting a first printed circuit board generally perpendicular to a second printed circuit board and including an elbowed coaxial connector element and a straight coaxial connector element,

• (A) the elbowed coaxial connector element comprising:
• (i) a conducting parallelepipedal body having a bottom face, a front face, and a rear face,
• (ii) a plurality of first pins attached to said bottom face for joining said body to the first printed circuit board,
• (iii) at least two first coaxial contacts on said front face, each contact having a first peripheral conductor in electrical communication with said body, and a first central conductor,
• (iv) at least two elbowed conducting rods passing through said body, connecting said first central conductors to said first pins, and
• (B) the straight coaxial connector element comprising:
• (i) a ground plate having extensions for insertion into the second printed-circuit board,
• (ii) a plurality of second pins attached to the second printed circuit board,
• (iii) at least two second coaxial contacts for mating connection with said first coaxial contacts, each of said second coaxial contacts having a second central conductor in electrical contact with a second pin, and a second peripheral conductor,
• (iv) said ground plate defining orifices for receiving each of said second peripheral conductors therein,
• (v) crimped means formed on said second peripheral conductors to fasten the second peripheral conductors within said orifices to said ground plate.
