Abstract:
A coaxial connector with a switch, the coaxial connector comprising:a normally closed terminal and a common terminal whose respective contact portions contact and move apart from each other in association with removal and insertion of a mating connector; an insulator for holding the normally closed terminal and the common terminal; and a shell for holding the insulator from outside, a connecting portion of the normally closed terminal, a connecting portion of the common terminal, and a pair of connecting portions of the shell protruding in a horizontal direction to be placed on corresponding lands formed on a surface of a printed wiring board near an edge thereof, the coaxial connector being mounted onto the edge of the printed wiring board through soldering of each connecting portion of the normally closed terminal, the common terminal, and the shell, wherein: the pair of connecting portions of the shell are placed at horizontally symmetric positions with respect to a vertical plane passing a center or nearly the center of the shell; the connecting portion of the normally closed terminal and the connecting portion of the common terminal are placed at horizontally symmetric positions with respect to the vertical plane; and a top surface and a bottom surface of each of the connecting portions of the normally closed terminal, the common terminal, and the shell are formed into vertically symmetric shapes with respect to a horizontal plane passing centers or nearly the centers of the connecting portions.
