A connector for connecting coax electric cables, in an automatic test equipment, the connector comprising:
- a housing;
- a cable contact side comprising a plurality of coax cable receptions each adapted for electrically connecting to an electrical coax cable;
- a pin contact side comprising a plurality of pin contact zones each adapted for electrically contacting to a respective spring loaded contact pin,
- wherein a first number of the pin contact zones are signal contact zones adapted for providing a signal transmitting contact and a second number of the pin contact zones are ground contact zones adapted to provide an electrical grounding;
- a plurality of jackets each surrounding a signal conductor, wherein each signal conductor is electrically insulated from the jacket;
- wherein each signal conductor electrically connects one of the pin contact zones to one of the electrical coax cables;
- and
- wherein the pin contact zones and the cable receptions are integral portions of the respective signal conductors.
