Patent ID: 8113857

Claim:
An improved high frequency connector comprising: an insulative housing comprising an upper insulating case having an opening portion that receives a center conductor of a mating connector, and a lower insulating case having a central cavity; a shield covering the housing to be connected electrically to an outer conductor of the mating connector; a first terminal including a first welding leg used to be soldered on a conductor of a circuit board, a first fixed portion extending from said first welding leg and molded into said insulative housing by an insert-molding process, and a first contact portion cantilevered flexible, extending from said first fixed portion and mounted in the central cavity of the insulative housing; and a second terminal including a second welding leg used to be soldered on a conductor of a circuit board, a second fixed portion extending from said second welding leg and molded into said insulative housing by an insert-molding process, and a second contact portion extending from said second fixed portion and mounted in the central cavity of the insulative housing; the first and second terminals defining a switch and in secure contact with each other inside the central cavity in a normal position; wherein the second contact portion, shaped in a semi-enclosure construction, is formed by a scrapless puncturing and bending stamping process from the second fixed portion on the base of a metal sheet, so that the resultant second contact portion is uniform in width with the end of the second fixed portion.
