Abstract
A connector includes a housing including a conductive material, a base connected to the housing and including a base center hole and a base groove extending from the base center hole to an edge of the base, a center pin including a first portion and a second portion extending perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the first portion, and a dielectric. The dielectric includes a first portion extending through the base center hole and including a dielectric center hole through which the first portion of the center pin extends and a second portion extending perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the first portion of the dielectric along the base groove and including a dielectric groove along which the second portion of the center pin extends.
