Claim:
A coaxial connector where a plug having a coaxial structure is connected in a direction substantially parallel with a board, the board being where the coaxial connector is mounted, the coaxial connector comprising: a housing including a contact housing hole; a signal contact having one end connected to and supported by a plug pin of the plug and another end bent or curved toward the board; and a ground contact having a substantially cylindrical shaped main body part, the main body part surrounding a part of the signal contact, the ground contact being connected to a plug side ground member by a first connecting part formed at one end of the main body part, the ground contact being connected to the board by a second connecting part fanned at another end of the main body part, a part of the cylindrical shaped main body of the ground contact being supported in the contact housing hole of the housing, wherein the second connecting part includes a center member surrounding two or more surfaces of the signal contact, the center member having a hole part pierced by the bent or curved portion of the signal contact, the center member having a cross section of a substantially rectangular shape without one side; and an arm part extending from a side part of the center member, the arm part having an end part separated from and facing a head end part of the center member, wherein the end part of the arm part comes in contact with the head end part of the center member by fixing the housing to the board so that a part of the arm part is pressed and makes contact with an electrode of the board due to an elastic force generated at the arm part.
