Abstract:
An electrical connector comprising:a main body made out of an electrically conductive material and having an inner passage therethrough;a pair of insulating sleeves fitted inside said inner passage, an outer end face of each insulating sleeve include a small diameter section; anda cylindrical contact member made out of an electrically conductive material and being fitted between said small diameter sections of said insulating sleeves, said cylindrical contact member having a first and second ends with a central section therebetween, said first end of said contact member is substantially tubular and is adapted to be axially slidably engaged by a center conductor, said first end includes two equally spaced radially opposed and axially elongated continuous beams forming two adjacent equally spaced radially opposed holes therebetween, each of said beams having a concave inner surface and being substantially symmetrically, radially, inwardly cambered towards the axis of said contact member to define an apex contact region, both of said contact regions forming an axially transverse and partially closed opening defined by both of said inner surfaces to receive said center conductor, each of said beams being resilient and adapted for biasing said center conductor against said contact region of the other of said beams, said beams being adapted to flatten out at said contact regions against said center conductor thereby providing axial linear contacts with the latter.
