Claim 7:
8. A connector assembly comprising:
a housing having a plurality of bores therein;
a plurality of connectors coupled in the bores of the housing, each connector including:
a center conductor element positioned in a respective 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 respective barrel body for being compressed;
the barrel body and center conductor pin of each center conductor element moving longitudinally in the respective housing bore with respect to the respective 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 respective 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 with respect to each other when a respective connector of the connector assembly is compressed.
