Abstract:
1. A coaxial socket contact for connecting to a coaxial transmission medium to form an electrically conductive path between the transmission medium and the coaxial socket contact, the coaxial socket contact comprising: a first end; a second end opposite the first end; a tubular body between the first end and the second end, the tubular body having a perimeter and a medial region; at least one slotted region, the slotted region comprising at least one cantilevered arm extending from the medial region to at least the first end, the slotted region defining a first length along an axis extending from the first end to the second end, the at least one cantilevered arm defining a second length along the at least one cantilevered arm, the second length being longer than the first length for improving mating cycle performance; and at least one longitudinally oriented U-shaped slot in the at least one slotted region.
