Circuit board coaxial connector
The invention relates to a coaxial connector ( 1 ), comprising a first and a second connector part ( 2, 3 ) and an adapter ( 4 ) arranged therebetween. The first and the second connector part ( 2, 3 ) include a first inner conductor ( 5 ) and a first outer conductor ( 8 ), including a first internal cylindrical contact surface ( 24 ) and a second internal cylindrical contact surface ( 25 ), respectively. In a socket area ( 17 ) of the first inner conductor ( 5 ), a first mechanical operative-connection means interacts with a second mechanical operative-connection means ( 11 ) in the installed state in order to establish a mechanical connection ( 13 ) that is effective in the axial direction (z). The first inner conductor ( 5 ) protrudes beyond the level of the mechanical operative-connection means ( 10, 11 ) so the internal cylindrical contact surface ( 24 ) is able to compensate a large axial offset (dz) of the connector parts ( 2, 3 ) relative to the adapter ( 4 ).
