A coaxial connector mounted to a board, wherein a center conductor is provided with a contact portion in contact with the terminal of a counterpart connector. A first coupling portion couples to the contact portion and extends in the axial direction of an outer conductor. A bend portion couples to the first coupling portion and is bent in the radial direction of the outer conductor. A second coupling portion couples to the bend portion and extends in the radial direction of the outer conductor. A connecting portion couples to the second coupling portion and connects said center conductor to on-board circuitry. A first and second expanded portion produced by an expansion of a portion of the outer peripheral surface of said first and second coupling portions, is formed in the first and second coupling portions.
