Abstract
A coaxial connector including an outer conductor having a hollow cylindrical body portion and a plurality of substantially parallel, circumferentially spaced apart spring fingers extending longitudinally from the body portion, each of the fingers having a free end terminating with a radially outwardly projecting latch portion; an inner conductor disposed coaxially within the outer conductor; a cylindrical insulator member disposed between the inner and outer conductors; a hollow cylindrical and electrically conductive bushing surrounding the fingers and at least a section of the body portion, the bushing having an inner surface defining an annular recess receiving the latch portions; and an annular coiled, electrically conductive spring engaged between the body portion and the bushing. The spring fingers facilitate rapid interconnection of the outer conductor and the bushing while the spring provides RFI suppression.
