Abstract
A sub-miniature push-on RF connector for connecting a transmission line to a signal sink. The connector has a shielded transmission line section having a signal line and a ground line extending axially through the connector. A center pin is coupled to the signal line and extends from the center of a front face of the connector in an axial direction. A semicircular tab coupled to the ground line extends from the front face of the connector substantially along the length of the center pin and partially surrounding the center pin to reduce an air gap impedance, the tab having first and second wire bonding surfaces at the ends of the semicircular shape thereof and disposed adjacent to said center pin.
