1. A connector comprising:
a housing having a bore therein;
a center conductor element positioned in the bore and including a center conductor pin, a plunger portion and a movable barrel body having a spring therein, the center conductor pin positioned at a front end of the barrel body and the plunger portion positioned at a rear end of the barrel body, the center conductor pin being spring-biased to move longitudinally in the barrel body for being compressed;
the barrel body and center conductor pin moving longitudinally in the housing bore with respect to the plunger portion when the center conductor element is compressed;
a ground sleeve element coaxially arranged around the center conductor element and spring-biased to move longitudinally in the housing bore for being compressed;
the ground sleeve element being coupled with the barrel body of the center conductor element at a plurality of positions along the barrel body so that the center conductor element barrel body and ground sleeve element are coupled together for moving together in the housing bore when compressed and maintaining their same coaxial position in the housing bore with respect to each other when the connector is compressed.
