SHIELDED COAXIAL CONNECTOR

1 . A switched coaxial cable connector, the connector comprising:

a connector body housing a spring;

a spring with a first spring end that bears on a moving insulator and a second spring end opposite the first that bears on a fixed insulator;

the moving insulator having a central bore and counterbore;

a moving electrical contact with a pin end, the counterbore for receiving a moving contact shoulder, the pin end passing through the bore into the spring expanse;

the fixed insulator having a central tubular boss on a side opposite the moving electrical contact pin end;

a fixed electrical contact with a pin end and a socket end, the socket end inserted in the central tubular boss; and,

the moving electrical contact pin end for removable insertion in the fixed electrical contact socket end for completing an electrical circuit through the connector.

2 . A method of making a coaxial connector with an internal switch, the method comprising the steps of:

providing a connector body housing and a spring therein;

urging a moving insulator away from a fixed insulator using the spring;

holding a fixed electrical conductor in a fixed insulator tubular boss that extends away from the moving insulator;

carrying a moving electrical conductor with the moving insulator;

boring and counterboring the moving insulator to receive therethrough a pin end of the moving conductor such that a shoulder of the moving conductor is inserted in the counterbore; and,

inserting a socket end of the fixed electrical contact in the fixed insulator tubular boss;

wherein the moving electrical conductor pin is for removable insertion in the fixed electrical conductor socket for completing an electrical circuit through the connector.
