Abstract
A header assembly includes a dielectric housing, an electrically conductive outer contact, and a center contact. The housing has a front panel that defines a contact opening therethrough between a front side and a rear side of the front panel. The housing also includes a base panel extending from the rear side of the front panel. The base panel mounts to a circuit board. The outer contact includes a mating segment that extends through the contact opening of the housing and defines a channel that receives the center contact therein. The outer contact also includes a mounting segment that engages the base panel of the housing and is disposed between the base panel and the circuit board. The mounting segment couples and electrically terminates to the circuit board.
