Patent ID: 7484999

Claim:
A relay connector for electrically connecting a core conductor of a coaxial connector to a terminal electrode provided on a front surface end of a board and for electrically connecting a shell GND of the coaxial connector to a GND electrode provided on a back surface end of the board, the relay connector comprising: a main block, comprised of a conductive material, and formed with a through hole in which a dielectric member of the coaxial connector is inserted, wherein the shell GND of the coaxial connector is secured on a surface of the main block and the core conductor peeled from the dielectric member is projected from an opposite surface of the main block, and a GND block, comprised of a conductive material, and including a board receiving portion on which an end of the board is placed, wherein the GND block can move relatively to the main block, by a guide member, in a linear direction parallel to the surface from which the core conductor is projected, wherein: by the relative movement of the main block and the GND block, the core conductor and the board receiving portion are caused to approach or be separated from each other so that the board can be inserted and sandwiched therebetween; an insulating cover in contact with the core conductor is arranged on the surface from which the core conductor is projected on a side opposite to the board receiving portion in an approaching and separating direction; and the main block and the GND block are electrically connected to each other; wherein the core conductor and the board receiving portion are elastically urged between the main block and the GND block in a direction of approaching each other by an elastic member so that the board is sandwiched between the core conductor and the board receiving portion by elastic force of the elastic member.
