Abstract
A radio frequency switch assembly (120) is mountable between an antenna port (110) and a detachable antenna (130) of a radio communication device assembly (100) to provide an interface for a radio frequency accessory. The switch assembly (120) has a radio interface port (123), a radio frequency accessory port (125), and an antenna interface port (127), and associated contacts (207, 216, 223). A mechanical switch alternatively interconnects the radio interface port (123) with the radio frequency accessory port (125) or with the antenna interface port (127). Preferably, the switch includes a conductive probe (213) that continuously engages the radio interface port contact (207) while being slidable to electrically interconnect with the antenna interface port contact (223) or with the radio frequency accessory port contact (216).
