Abstract:
1. Co-axial insertion-connected connector including a quick-action locking mechanism, said co-axial insertion-connected connector designed to receive a complementary insertion-connected connector, the co-axial insertion-connected connector and the complementary co-axial insertion-connected connector being able to be connected together by a coupling member belonging to the quick-action locking mechanism and each including a center-conductor part which forms a center conductor and an outer-conductor part which forms an outer conductor, a contact member being so arranged in the co-axial insertion-connected connector that, when the co-axial insertion-connected connectors are plugged together, said contact member is separate from, slideably connected to, and secured by, the outer-conductor part of the co-axial insertion-connected connector, and arranged between the outer-conductor part of the co-axial insertion-connected connector and the outer-conductor part of the complementary co-axial insertion-connected connector, characterized in that the contact member takes the form of a sleeve having a first end and a second end, the first end of the sleeve making first, axial electrical contact to give a contact region at the end-face of the outer-conductor part of the complementary co-axial insertion-connected connector, such that said outer-conductor part of the complementary co-axial insertion-connected connector provides an axial force to the sleeve first end, and the second end of the sleeve making second, radial electrical contact with the outer-conductor part of the co-axial insertion-connected connector, and in that an elastic length-adjusting member is provided which abuts, by a first side, against the outer-conductor part of the co-axial insertion-connected connector and, by a second side situated in an opposite position, against the sleeve first end, electrically separating the sleeve first end from the outer-conductor part of the co-axial insertion-connected connector.
