US 7,802,993 B2 · Surface mount coaxial connector assembly

Abstract

A disclosed coaxial connector can be surface-mounted on a circuit board without degradation in signal transmission characteristics. The coaxial connector includes a center conductor, a surrounding conductor by which the center conductor is surrounded, and an insulating housing. The center conductor has a leg portion at its base end. The surrounding conductor has six lugs at its base end that extend radially. The leg portion and the lugs are exposed on a bottom surface of the housing. The coaxial connector is mounted on the circuit board with the leg portion pressed against a signal pad on the circuit board for electrical connection and the lugs pressed against a ground pad for electrical connection.

Dependent claims

A coaxial connector for mounting on a substrate, the coaxial connector comprising:

an insulating housing;
a center conductor fixed to the housing;
and
a surrounding conductor fixed to the housing in such a manner as to surround the center conductor;
wherein the center conductor has a base portion that is exposed on a lower surface of the housing and that is configured to be pressed against a pad disposed on the substrate, and the surrounding conductor has a base portion that is exposed on the lower surface of the housing and that is configured to be pressed against another pad disposed on the substrate, and
wherein the insulating housing includes a flange portion in which one or more screw holes are formed for mounting the coaxial connector to the substrate without soldering.
