Claim:
1. An assembly of mated coaxial connectors, comprising: a first connector having a first central conductor extension and a first outer conductor extension, the first outer conductor extension having a free end portion; a second connector having a second central conductor extension and a second outer conductor extension, the second outer conductor extension having an outer body and an inner body with a gap therebetween; wherein the first central conductor extension engages the second central conductor extension to establish a first electrical connection; wherein the free end portion of the first outer conductor extension fits within the gap of the second outer conductor extension, such that the inner body applies radially outward pressure to the first outer conductor extension to establish a second electrical connection; and wherein the first outer conductor extension is attached to a flex member that deflects during axial engagement of the first and second connectors, the flex member comprising a flex section that extends radially inwardly, an axially-extending body attached to the flex section with a free end portion, and a stop at the free end of the body that engages the inner body of the second outer conductor extension, the flex member configured to apply axial pressure to the other of the first outer conductor extension and the second outer conductor extension to augment the second electrical connection.
