A coaxial connector includes an insulation housing having a receptacle opening portion for receiving a central conductive member of a coaxial plug; an outer conductive member for detachably attaching an outer conductive member of the coaxial plug; a connection member; a switching spring member capable of being elastically deformed downwardly; and an insulation member fixed to the connection member or the switching spring member so that the insulation member is situated between the connection member and the switching spring member. The switching spring member is pushed and displaced so that the switching spring member is disconnected from the connection member when the coaxial plug is inserted into the insulation housing. The connection member is pushed to displace the switching spring member through the insulation member so that the switching spring member is disconnected from the connection member when the coaxial plug is inserted into the insulation housing.

Coaxial connector

A coaxial connector to be attached to a coaxial change-over switch includes an insulated connector housing; an outer connector conductor provided outside the insulated connector housing and capable of connecting to an outer conductor of a coaxial cable; and a contact provided in the insulated connector housing to be movable for connecting to a center conductor of the coaxial cable. The contact has a first portion including a distal end portion and a second portion connected to the first portion via a bent section. The contact is mounted on a mounting section of the insulated connector housing, and is supported in a cantilever state at the second portion. The distal end portion is elastically displaced in a direction opposite to an attaching direction of the coaxial change-over switch when the distal end portion contacts with the coaxial change-over switch.
