US 8,894,444 B2 · Coaxial electrical connector and coaxial electrical connector assembly including a tubular contact for reducing the height and improving the retention strength against mating or removal

Abstract

A coaxial electrical connector having a shorter height and improved retention strength against mating and removal with a simple structure is provided. A connector mounting portion P1 is formed as a recess or a through hole in a printed wiring board P, and the connector is mounted such that its insulating housing 11 is inserted into this connector mounting portion P1 of the printed wiring board P, so that the height of the connector is reduced. Load applied when a counterpart electrical connector 20 is mated with or removed from the connector is stably supported by the insulating housing 11 via a connector holding portion 11c, so that components such as conductive contacts are prevented from deformation, and solder joints are prevented from peeling.

Dependent claims

A coaxial electrical connector mounted on a printed wiring board having a signal connection terminal and a ground connection terminal formed as conductive paths on the printed wiring board, comprising:

an insulating housing;
and
a tubular contact attached to the insulating housing to contact a tubular contact provided in another connector as a coupling counterpart for establishing electrical connection,
wherein the insulating housing is shaped to be inserted into a connector mounting portion formed as a recess or a through hole in the printed wiring board,
wherein the insulating housing includes a connector holding portion to be abutted on a surface of the printed wiring board when the insulating housing is inserted into the connector mounting portion, and
wherein the connector holding portion protrudes from a body of the insulating housing in a flange shape.
