Abstract
A coaxial connector in which the receptacle includes an outer shell that contains a sliding ring-shaped contact which is urged forwardly by a coil spring, the coil spring having a few turns at its rearward end which are firmly captured so that a low resistance connection is established through the spring. The receptacle also includes an inner tubular contact which is tapered to a minimum diameter at a throat region and which has slots forming resilient contact fingers, for receiving a tapered or straight pin-shaped plug member. In the case of a tapered pin-shaped plug member, the radius of curvature of the tubular inner contact at the throat thereof is precisely equal to the diameter of the pin-shaped member at the locations where they are engaged when the plug is fully inserted into the receptacle.
