Thin-type coaxial connector and receptacle for mating with the coaxial

Abstract

A thin-type coaxial connector and a coaxial multicore receptacle used together with the thin-type coaxial connectors are disclosed herein. The thin-type coaxial connector comprises a female central contact mechanically and electrically connected to a central conductor of coaxial cable by press-deforming, an insulator holder of a discrete sleeve fitted onto the central contact and an insulator sheath layer of the coaxial cable, a ferrule fitted onto an outer surface of the coaxial cable and covered with an outer conductor of the coaxial cable folded thereon, and an outer conductor sleeve closely fitted onto the insulator body and said folded outer conductor to clamp the outer conductor by the outer conductor sleeve and the ferrule. The receptacle comprises a substrate having a plurality of ground pins and power source pins set at cross points of a matrix pattern thereon and a plurality of signal pins, a guide plates overlaid on the substrate having guide holes for the ground pins, the power source pins, and the signal pins. The guide plate further comprises insulator caps covering the power source pins. A plurality of pairs of ground contacts are disposed over the guide plate for making contacts with the ground pins and outer conductor sleeves of coaxial connectors mating with the signal pins, and for clamping insulator caps, respectively.
