Abstract:
A coaxial connection for a printed circuit board comprising:an adapter (4; 104) having a substantially cylindrical shape, a first end, and a second end; a first connector element (2; 102) electrically connected to said first end (5; 105); and a second connector element (3; 103) electrically connected to said second end (6; 106), at least said first connector element (2; 102) being fastened to a printed circuit board (A), wherein said first connector element (2; 102) and said first end (5; 105) are connected together by a fixed ball-and-socket joint (22; 122), such that said adapter (4; 104) is tiltable, wherein said fixed ball-and-socket joint (22; 122) is formed by an insulator (12; 12â€²) of said first connector element (2, 2â€²) and an insulator (9) of said adapter (4, 4â€²) or by said adapter (104) and an outer conductor (110) of said first connector element (102), and wherein said second connector element (3; 103) and said second end (6; 106) are connected together by a loose ball-and-socket joint (23; 123), such that the two connector elements (2; 3; 102; 103) are axially and radially displaceable relative to one another.
