Abstract
A coaxial connector with a switch has a central terminal, an outer terminal, and a switch terminal. When a plug is inserted in the coaxial connector, the central terminal is connected to the plug central terminal of the plug, while the outer terminal is connected with the plug outer terminal. At this time, the switch terminal comes into contact with the plug outer terminal, and it is electrically connected to the outer terminal via the plug outer terminal. The outer terminal is shaped as a cylindrical shell, and the switch terminal is positioned so as to face the outer terminal. When the plug is inserted, the plug outer terminal is inserted between the outer terminal and the switch terminal, whereby the switch terminal is electrically connected to the outer terminal, and the switch is activated. When the plug is not inserted, the switch terminal is separated from the outer terminal and, accordingly, the switch is not activated.
