Abstract:
A coaxial connector with a switch to be mounted on a board, comprising:an insulative housing having an opening for receiving a central conductor of a coaxial plug; an outer conductor provided outside said insulative housing and engaging with an outer conductor of said plug such that said coaxial plug is attached to or detached from said coaxial connector; a fixed terminal provided under said opening and having a contact portion; a movable terminal provided under said opening and having a fixed portion fixed to said insulative housing and a cantilevered flexible portion extending from said fixed portion and contacting with said contact portion of said fixed terminal, wherein when said central conductor of said coaxial plug is plugged into said opening of said insulative housing, said central conductor of said coaxial plug abuts against said flexible portion so that said flexible portion separates from said contact portion of said fixed terminal to switch a signal circuit, and said flexible portion comprises at least one cut-off portion at a position located on a side of said fixed portion with respect to an abutting position with said central conductor of said coaxial plug, wherein said flexible portion comprises side faces between which a distance increases from a vicinity of said abutting position toward said fixed portion of said movable terminal and said cut-off portion has a shape formed along said side faces.
