Patent ID: 7785129

Claim:
An RF (Radio Frequency) connector for mating with a plug connector, comprising: an outer housing defining an axial bore for receiving the plug connector; a locking member received in the axial bore; an insulative body retained in the axial bore of the outer housing and defining an axial hole; a terminal assembled to the axial hole of the insulative body; a first sealing ring assembled between an interior surface of the outer housing and an outer surface of the locking member; and a second sealing ring disposed around an inner surface of the locking member for abutting against an outer surface of the plug connector when the plug connector is inserted in the RF connector; said locking member has a base, a plurality of clamping beams extending from the base for clamping the plug connector and a receiving room surrounded by the clamping beams for receiving the plug connector; said base of the locking member has a first annular recess formed on the outer surface thereof, and wherein the first sealing ring is disposed in the first annular recess and resists against the interior surface of the outer housing; said clamping beam has a hook extending into the receiving room of the locking member for locking with a shoulder protruding from the outer surface of the plug connector; a coupling shell partially enclosing the outer housing, and wherein the coupling shell has an operating portion and a latching portion extending from the operating portion into the axial bore of the outer housing for moving the hook of the clamping beam away from the shoulder of the plug connector.
