Abstract
A coaxial right-angle plug connector includes a 'clean' right-angle inner contact member having a continuous insulative cover molded therearound including the bend to be self-retaining thereon and to have consistently concentric coaxial outer surfaces, with larger diameter cover portions around the portion within the conductive housing. The front horizontal contact portion and the outer contact therearound mate with contact means of conventional receptacle connectors, while the vertical portion of the inner contact descends from the housing near the front thereof reducing the length of the signal path and lessening reflection. The housed portion of the connector raises the average impedance over the length of the connector to approximate that of the cable used in the signal path of the coaxial patchboard programming system, by reason of large diameter cover portions of the inner contact adjacent the bend, while allowing floating of the insulated inner contact to adapt to a slightly misaligned printed circuit board hole.
