Abstract
A connector module ( ) for installation on a small mobile telephone to enable the module to rest at a docking station where contacts mate to pass multiple medium to low frequency signals and power and to pass high frequency signals through a coaxial connection of high frequency signals as to an external antenna. The module includes a molded dielectric body ( ) having a first body part ( ) that holds the first contacts ( ) for medium to low frequency signals and power, and having a second body part ( ) that extends from a longitudinal end ( ) of the first body part and that holds the coaxial contacts ( ). The first contacts have strip-shaped mating sides ( ) fixed to the body for engaging mating contacts by merely pressing the body against a row of resilient contacts on the docking station, while the coaxial contacts are constructed with the inner contact having a face that can be deflected by a mating inner contact ( ) and with the outer coaxial contact ( ) forming a conical recess ( ) for receiving a corresponding projection on the mating outer coaxial contact member of the docking station.
