Abstract:
1. A coaxial connector assembly comprising: an outer housing holding an outer contact; a dielectric holder received in the outer contact, the dielectric holder having a front and a cavity extending axially along the dielectric holder, the cavity being bounded by a cavity wall, the dielectric holder having an expansion slot formed in the cavity wall offset from, and proximate to, the front; and a center contact received in the dielectric holder, the center contact having a socket at a mating end configured to receive a pin contact of a mating connector assembly, the center contact having deflectable beams at the mating end configured to deflect outward when mated with the pin contact, the center contact having flared tip ends at the distal ends of the beams, the flared tip ends being received in the expansion slot when the deflectable beams are deflected outward during mating with the pin contact.
