Coaxial cable connector

Abstract

The present invention concerns an electrical connector for a coaxial cable with an effective contact member made out of high electrically conductive material. The electrical connector comprises a conductive main body with an inner passage and two insulating sleeves, each provided with a small diameter section. The contact member is fitted in the small diameter sections and the inner passage of the electrical connector and is provided with two hollowed cylindrical ends with a central section therebetween. Each end is adapted to be axially slidably engaged by a center conductor of a coaxial cable and is provided with two simple equally spaced and radially opposed rectangular openings, creating two equally spaced and radially opposed contact portions continuous beams therebetween. The axially elongated contact portions have two tangentially cambered surfaces inwardly incurved beams have a concave inner surface and are inwardly cambered to define apex contact regions. Each beam is resilient and adapted for biasing the center conductor against the contact region of the other beam. The beams are adapted to flatten out at the contact region against the center conductor to provide axial linear contacts with the latter.
