Push-pull coaxial connector having a movable sleeve

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a push-pull coaxial connector comprising: an external conductor, where the external conductor is configured to internally receive the matching external conductor of a mating connector, with concave parts or through holes on the inner surface of the side wall of the external conductor that house retainers and corresponding matching concave parts on the outer surface of the side wall of the mating external conductor, of which, there are one or more protrusions on the outer surface of the side wall of the external conductor; a sleeve surrounding the external conductor, where the sleeve is able to slide between the front position and rear position along the external conductor and is able to rotate around the circumference of the external conductor, of which, there are one or more corresponding notches to receive one or more protrusions on the rear surface of the sleeve; wherein, when the sleeve is at the front position, one or more protrusions are staggered away from one or more notches and abutted on the rear surface of the sleeve to prevent the sleeve from moving backward, and at this point, part of the retainer is in the concave part or through hole of the external conductor and part of it is in the mating concave part of the mating external conductor, thus maintaining the connection between the coaxial connector and mating connector; wherein, when the sleeve is at the rear position, one or more protrusions are received in one or more corresponding notches, and at this point, the retainer fully leaves the matching concave part of the mating external conductor, thus separating the coaxial connector and the mating connector. The push-pull coaxial connector uses a simple concave-convex structure, which locks the front and rear positions of the push-pull structure of the coaxial connector and it has a simple structure and is low-cost.
