Abstract

A coaxial connector for installation in a device housing comprises a base body that has a flange for placing the coaxial connector against a wall of the device housing, wherein at least two coaxial connection contacts and at least two circuit board contacts electrically connected thereto for connecting the coaxial connector to a circuit board arranged in the device housing are arranged at the base body. The circuit board contacts have axially movable contact pins that are spring-loaded in an extension direction facing away from the base body.

Claims (24)

1 . A coaxial connector for installation in a device housing,

said coaxial connector comprising a base body that has a flange for placing the coaxial connector against a wall of the device housing, wherein at least two coaxial connection contacts and at least two circuit board contacts electrically connected thereto for connecting the coaxial connector to a circuit board arranged in the device housing are arranged at the base body, wherein the circuit board contacts have axially movable contact pins that are spring-loaded in an extension direction facing away from the base body.

2 . The coaxial connector in accordance with claim 1 ,

wherein the contact pins are displaceably supported in a sleeve element fastened to the base body and are acted on by a compression spring arranged in the sleeve element.

3 . The coaxial connector in accordance with claim 1 ,

wherein the contact pins have rounded contact surfaces at the pin ends.

4 . The coaxial connector in accordance with claim 1 ,

wherein the contact pins have pin axes that extend at right angles to a plug-in direction defined by the coaxial connection contacts.

5 . The coaxial connector in accordance with claim 1 ,

wherein the contact pins have pin axes that extend in parallel with or coincide with a plug-in direction defined by the coaxial connection contacts.

6 . The coaxial connector in accordance with claim 1 ,

wherein the coaxial connection contacts have a hollow cylindrical external contact and an inner contact radially surrounded by the latter.

7 . The coaxial connector in accordance with claim 6 ,

wherein a securing thread is provided at the hollow cylindrical external contact for a screwing of the coaxial connector to a further coaxial connector.

8 . The coaxial connector in accordance with claim 1 ,

wherein a fixing thread is provided at the base body and cooperates with a knurled nut.

9 . The coaxial connector in accordance with claim 1 ,

wherein a seal is arranged at the base body.

10 . The coaxial connector in accordance with claim 9 ,

wherein the seal is arranged at the flange.

11 . The coaxial connector in accordance with claim 1 ,

wherein at least three circuit board contacts having respective axially movable contact pins spring-loaded in an extension direction facing away from the base body are arranged at the base body, with at least two of the at least three circuit board contacts being electrically connected to a ground contact of the coaxial connection contacts.

12 . The coaxial connector in accordance with claim 11 ,

wherein the ground contact of the coaxial connection contacts is an external contact.
