Abstract

In order to provide a coaxial electrical connector that makes it easy to ensure excellent signal transmission quality even in broadband mode, dielectric bodies 30 are provided, including a first dielectric body 31 and a second dielectric body 32 provided such that a space 43 B- 1 is formed within an offset from the first dielectric body 31 at a location spaced apart from the first dielectric body 31 in the vertical direction; a center conductor 20 has an abutment portion 23 C- 2 abutting the second dielectric body 32 from below; the first dielectric body 31 retains the center conductor 20 in the radial direction; and the second dielectric body 32 , when pressed from below by the abutment portion 23 C- 2 , is resiliently deformable toward a space 43 C formed directly above the second dielectric body 32.

Claims (21)

1 . A coaxial electrical connector connected to a circuit board, the connector having:

a metallic outer conductor having an interior space extending along an axis perpendicular to a mounting face of the circuit board;

dielectric bodies directly or indirectly retained within the interior space by the metallic outer conductor; and

a metallic center conductor extending within the interior space perpendicular to the mounting face, retained by the dielectric bodies, and having a bottom end portion in contact with the mounting face, wherein:

the dielectric bodies comprise a first dielectric body and a second dielectric body, the second dielectric body being offset from the first dielectric body such that a space is formed between the first dielectric body and the second dielectric body;

the metallic center conductor has an abutment portion abutting the second dielectric body from below;

the first dielectric body retains the metallic center conductor in a radial direction;

the second dielectric body, when pressed from below by the abutment portion, is resiliently deformable toward a space formed directly above the second dielectric body;

the first dielectric body and the second dielectric body are spaced apart;

the first dielectric body is provided below the second dielectric body; and

the second dielectric body has a higher deflection temperature under load than the first dielectric body.

2 . A coaxial electrical connector connected to a circuit board, the connector having:

a metallic outer conductor having an interior space extending along an axis perpendicular to a mounting face of the circuit board;

dielectric bodies directly or indirectly retained within the interior space by the metallic outer conductor; and

a metallic center conductor extending within the interior space perpendicular to the mounting face, retained by the dielectric bodies, and having a bottom end portion in contact with the mounting face, wherein:

the dielectric bodies comprise a first dielectric body and a second dielectric body second dielectric body being offset from the first dielectric body such that a space is formed between the first dielectric body and the second dielectric body;

the metallic center conductor has an abutment portion abutting the second dielectric body from below;

the first dielectric body retains the metallic center conductor in a radial direction;

the second dielectric body, when pressed from below by the abutment portion, is resiliently deformable toward a space formed directly above the second dielectric body; and

the first dielectric body has a lower dielectric permittivity than the dielectric permittivity of the second dielectric body.

3 . The coaxial electrical connector according to claim 2 , wherein the first dielectric body is made of polytetrafluoroethylene and the second dielectric body is made of polyetherimide.
