Abstract

A receiver is provided with a connector including: an outer earbud contact composed of a tube-shaped conductor and provided on the earbud side, an inner earbud contact arranged inside the outer earbud contact via an earbud-side insulator, an outer cable contact composed of a tube-shaped conductor and provided on the cable side, and an inner cable contact arranged inside the outer cable contact via a cable-side insulator; a coaxial connector being formed when the outer contacts are screwed into each other.

Claims (13)

1. A receiver having a connector connected electrically to a receiver main body and to a cable, the connector comprising:

an outer main body contact composed of a tube-shaped conductor and provided on the main body side;

an inner main body contact arranged inside the outer main body contact via an insulator;

an outer cable contact composed of a tube-shaped conductor and provided on the cable side, and

an inner cable contact arranged inside the outer cable contact via an insulator;

wherein the connector is mounted on the receiver main body so that, in response to the outer main body contact and outer cable contact being mated, a coaxial connector is formed electrically connecting the outer contacts and the inner contacts, the outer contacts being screwed into each other, and the outer main body contact not rotating relative to the receiver main body.

2. The receiver of claim 1 , wherein the outer main body contact includes an outer contact rotation-preventing engagement portion for engaging the receiver main body and preventing rotation of the outer main body contact.

3. The receiver of claim 2 , wherein the inner main body contact includes an inner contact rotation-preventing engagement portion for engaging the receiver main body and preventing rotation of the inner main body contact.

4. The receiver of claim 3 , wherein the receiver main body includes a main body engaging portion for engaging the outer contact rotation-preventing engagement portion and the inner outer contact rotation-preventing engagement portion.

5. The receiver of claim 4 , wherein the outer main body contact or the outer cable contact includes a washer-shaped loose threading preventing member applying pressure to both outer contacts in response to the outer contacts being screwed in.

6. The receiver of claim 1 , wherein the outer main body contact or the outer cable contact includes a washer-shaped loose threading preventing member applying pressure to both outer contacts in response to the outer contacts being screwed in.

7. The receiver of claim 2 , wherein the outer main body contact or the outer cable contact includes a washer-shaped loose threading preventing member applying pressure to both outer contacts in response to the outer contacts being screwed in.

8. The receiver of claim 3 , wherein the outer main body contact or the outer cable contact includes a washer-shaped loose threading preventing member applying pressure to both outer contacts in response to the outer contacts being screwed in.
