Abstract
Coaxial contacts of a second connector () are in the form of static pads (), while coax contacts of a first connector () are in the form of spring contacts () with pins () that engage the static pads. The first connector includes a coax center spring contact () positioned to engage a center static pad () of the second connector, and the first connector includes a plurality of outer coax spring contacts (A,B,C,D) positioned to engage the outer static pad () of the second connector. When fully mated, a static pad region () on the first connector lies facewise adjacent to the outer static pad. The connectors are constructed to mate by pivoting the first connector against the second one, to assure that an outer coax spring contact makes engagement before the center spring contact makes engagement.
