Patent ID: 8038450

Claim:
A coaxial connector for connecting a coaxial plug having a central conductive member, comprising: an insulation housing including an insertion opening portion and a pressing deformation portion situated above the insertion opening portion; an outer conductive member disposed on an outer surface of the insulation housing, said outer conductive member including a pressing portion for pressing the pressing deformation portion when the outer conductive member is attached to the insulation housing so that the pressing deformation portion deforms to cover the insertion opening portion; a stationary terminal including a contact portion; and a movable terminal fitted into the insertion opening portion, said movable terminal including a fixed portion fixed to the insulation housing and an elastic portion for contacting with the contact portion so that the movable terminal is electrically connected to the stationary terminal when the coaxial plug is not inserted into the insulation housing, said elastic portion being arranged to be separated from the contact portion so that the movable terminal is electrically disconnected from the stationary terminal when the coaxial plug is inserted into the insulation housing, said elastic portion being arranged to contact with the central conductive member so that the movable terminal is electrically connected to the central conductive member when the coaxial plug is inserted into the insulation housing.
