Abstract
A coaxial connector for connecting two substrates with reduced component count and suitable for high density packaging comprises a housing 26 having a throughhole 28 which is placed on a circuit board 2. A male terminal 22 is secured in the housing 26 and is connected to a ground conductor 18. On the other hand, a housing 66 having a throughhole 68 is placed on another circuit board 4. A female terminal 62 is secured in the housing 66 and is connected to a ground conductor 19. Signal conductors 16, 17 are formed on the circuit boards 2, 4, respectively. A bolt 6 is used to mate both housings 26, 66 to connect the circuit boards 2, 4 and electrically interconnect the signal conductors 16, 17 on the both circuit boards 2, 4.
Claims11
A coaxial connector for electrically connecting signal and ground conductors of circuit boards comprising a center contact member for connecting the signal conductors together and an outer contact means for connecting the ground conductors together, characterized in that said center contact member is extendable through the circuit boards and electrically engages the signal conductors on the outside surfaces of the circuit boards;
- and said outer contact means include matable members that telescopically engage each other including contact members electrically connectable with the ground conductors on the inner surfaces of the circuit boards.
A coaxial connector for electrically connecting signal and ground conductors of circuit boards, comprising:
- a first outer contact member having a first matable contact section and a first conductor contact section for electrical connection to the ground conductor on one of the circuit boards;
- a second outer contact member having a second matable contact section telescopically matable with said first matable contact section for electrical connection therebetween and a second conductor contact section for electrical connection to the ground conductor of the other of the circuit boards;
- and a center contact member extendable through the circuit boards and electrically connecting with the signal conductors on the circuit boards.
