The invention relates to a coaxial connector () for mounting on a printed circuit board adapted to receive a mating coaxial connector in an insertion direction (I). The coaxial connector comprises a contact spring () having a fixed leg () and an deflectable switching leg (). The switching leg () is moved by insertion of the mating connector from a rest position to a switching position. In rest position said switching leg electrically conductively presses against the switch portion () of the contact element (). The spring force flux (F) is guided via a contact element () in a closed loop back to the contact spring (). In switching position the switching leg () is spaced apart in an switching direction (D) from the switch portion () by the inserted mating connector. To provide smaller dimensions the contact element () is formed as a substantially C-shaped clip forming an opening (O) framed by the support portion () and the switch portion (), the switching leg () of the contact spring () extending into the opening.
