Abstract:
A coaxial cable connector for mounting on a printed circuit board to receive a matching coaxial cable connector, comprising:a casing, said casing being a hollow cylindrical metal shell comprising a plurality of clamping strips and longitudinal slots alternatively arranged at a front side thereof for holding down the matching coaxial cable connector, at least one stop flange raised from an inside wall thereof, and a plurality of mounting legs at a rear side thereof for fastening to the printed circuit board;an insulator set mounted inside said casing, said insulator set comprising a first insulator and a second insulator, said first insulator being mounted within said casing and supported on said at least one stop flange, said first insulator comprising a center hole, said second insulator being a hollow cylindrical member having a center hole at the center of a bottom side thereof; anda signal terminal set mounted inside said casing and insulated from said casing by said insulator set, said signal terminal set comprised of a first terminal and a second terminal, said first terminal and said second terminal being respectively made of electrically conductive material, said first terminal being a stepped, hollow cylindrical member mounted in the center hole of said first insulator for receiving the signal terminal of the matching coaxial cable connector, said second terminal being mounted inside said fist terminal and insulated from said first terminal by said second insulator, said second terminal comprised of a front terminal element, a rear terminal element, and a metal spring element connected between said front terminal element and said rear terminal element;wherein when the matching coaxial cable connector is installed in said casing, said second terminal element is forced backwards by the matching coaxial cable connector and electrically disconnected from said first terminal, and said first terminal being electrically connected to the signal terminal of the matching coaxial cable connector for external signal transmission; when the matching coaxial cable connector is disconnected from said casing, said second terminal element is forced forwards by said spring element into contact with said first terminal for internal signal transmission.
