An RF electrical connector comprises an insulative housing with a low-profile body section, a conductive shell enclosing the housing, a fixed contact and a switch contact. Both the switch contact and the fixed contact are retained in the housing in a normally-closed configuration and electrically contact with one another. The switch contact comprises a retaining body and a folded contacting arm extending therefrom which has a first portion extending upward from the retaining body, a curved portion extending from the first portion and providing enough resilience during mating and a second portion extending downward from the curved portion. The second portion comprises an apex for contacting a plug contact of a mating plug connector and a contacting end for contacting the fixed contact.
