Patent ID: 7445458

Claim:
A coaxial electrical connector, comprising: an outer conductive body including a fitting portion, said fitting portion including an opening portion for receiving a mating connector on one end portion side of the outer conductive body in a direction of an axis line of the outer conductive body, said outer conductive body further including an attachment portion formed of a plate extending perpendicular to the axis line on the other end portion side thereof in the direction of the axis line for attaching to a circuit board, said attachment portion extending through a joining portion bent at a part of a peripheral border of the fitting portion on the other end portion side so that the attachment portion covers substantially an area inside the peripheral border; a dielectric body retained in the fitting portion; and a central conductive body held in the dielectric body and including a contact portion for contacting a mate central conductive body of the mating connector in the direction of the axis line, said central conductive body further including a connection portion extending from the dielectric body in a radial direction and situated on a bottom surface of the attachment portion, said central conductive body further including a retained portion between the contact portion and the connection portion so that the dielectric body covers at least a part of the retained portion in a longitudinal direction thereof.
