A surface mountable electrical connector (20) includes an insulating housing (22) having a coaxial subassembly receiving cavity (54) extending thereinto to a cavity bottom (56) proximate the mounting face (28); a coaxial subassembly 60) having center and outer conductors (66, 76); and first and second contacts (82, 92) along the mounting face and extending into the housing to resilient inner ends (84, 94) exposed proximate the cavity bottom. The resilient inner ends are engaged by portions of the center and outer conductors (66, 76) at the insertion end of the coaxial subassembly (60) upon full insertion into the cavity. The first and second contacts (82, 92) include outer contact sections (88, 98) adapted to be surface mounted to a circuit board. The arrangement incorporates a coaxial contact into a multiple contact hybrid connector (20) fully surface mountable to a circuit board.
