Abstract

Disclosed is a micro-plug and socket connector that is suitable for mounting on a printed circuit board and that has a plastic housing including a fastening surface with soldering portions for mounting on the surface of the printed circuit board, a plug receiving opening having an inner contact region for the receiving and contacting a pin contact, and an outer contact terminal. The inner contact region, the outer contact terminal, the soldering portions and the electrically conductive connections provided therebetween are formed of metallized portions on the plastic housing.

Claims (16)

1. A micro-plug and socket connector for mounting on a printed circuit board and for establishing a plug and socket connection with a coaxial plug, comprising:

a center conductor configured as a pin contact and a coaxial outer conductor;

a plastic housing having a fastening surface, soldering portions for mounting on a surface of the printed circuit board, a plug receiving opening, a receiving region located in the plug receiving opening, an inner contact region having an angled surface stop, located in the receiving region that contacts an end of the pin contact and electrically connects the pin contact to one of the soldering portions, and an outer contact terminal, that contacts the coaxial outer conductor, and electrically connects the coaxial outer conductor to at least another of the soldering portions, the another soldering portion connected to the coaxial outer conductor extending from a side of the plastic housing and substantially perpendicular thereto, the housing being formed of two plastic materials wherein only one of the two plastic materials may be metallized; and

the inner contact region, the outer contact terminal, and the soldering portions of the plastic housing being metallized.

2. The micro-plug and socket connector according to claim 1 , wherein an outer side of the housing is provided with a latching device for latching with a complementary latching device of the coaxial plug.

3. The micro-plug and socket connector according to claim 1 , wherein the inner contact region is configured as a plane inclined toward a plug receiving direction.

4. The micro-plug and socket connector according to claim 1 , wherein the inner contact region is configured as a plane perpendicular to a plug receiving direction.

5. The micro-plug and socket connector according to claim 1 , wherein the housing has an external height dimension and an external diameter of approximately 1 to 5 mm.

6. A micro-plug and socket connector for mounting on a printed circuit board and for establishing a plug and socket connection with a coaxial plug, comprising:

a center conductor configured as a pin contact and a coaxial outer conductor;

a plastic housing having soldering portions for mounting on a surface of the printed circuit board, a plug receiving opening having a receiving region, an inner contact region located in the receiving region that contacts the pin contact and electrically connects the pin contact to one of the soldering portions, the inner contact region being inclined toward a plug receiving direction at a location which electrically connects to an end of the pin contact, and an outer contact terminal that contacts the coaxial outer conductor and electrically connects the coaxial outer conductor to at least another of the soldering portions, the housing being formed of two plastic materials wherein only one of the two plastic materials may be metallized; and

the inner contact region, the outer contact terminal, and the soldering portions of the plastic housing being metallized.

7. The micro-plug and socket connector according to claim 6 , wherein an outer side of the housing is provided with a latching device for latching with a complementary latching device of the coaxial plug.

8. The micro-plug and socket connector according to claim 6 , wherein the inner contact region is configured as stop having a plane inclined toward a plug receiving direction.

9. The micro-plug and socket connector according to claim 6 , wherein the housing has an external height dimension and an external diameter of approximately 1 to 5 mm.

10. The micro-plug and socket connector according to claim 6 , wherein the soldering portion connected to the coaxial outer conductor extends from a side of the plastic housing and substantially perpendicular thereto.
