Coaxial connector for circuit boards

A coaxial connector comprising:

• a connector body comprising a connector interface member, a flange and a ground interface receptacle;
• a ground interface member comprising a first portion configured to be fixedly attached to a printed circuit board and a second portion configured to slideably mate to said ground interface receptacle;
• a conductive contact coaxially aligned with respect to said ground interface member;
• at least one boss which extends from said flange;
• and
• at least one fastener that secures said connector body to a heat sink comprising a planar member such that said flange and said planar member are separated by a distance defined at least in part by said boss.

An electrical system comprising:

• a printed circuit board comprising:
• a first surface;
• a second surface substantially parallel to said first surface;
• at least one via defined within said printed circuit board;
• a coaxial connector comprising:
• a connector body comprising a connector interface member, a flange and a ground interface receptacle;
• a ground interface member comprising a first portion configured to be fixedly attached to said first surface of said printed circuit board and a second portion configured to slideably mate to said ground interface receptacle, said ground interface member further comprises a substantially cylindrical radial spring member, at least one slot defined in said radial spring member, wherein said at least one slot facilitates flexure of said radial spring member from a resiliently biased state to facilitate mating of said ground interface member with said ground interface receptacle;
• and
• a conductive contact coaxially aligned with respect to said ground interface member.
