Abstract

An assembly includes a coaxial male connector and a coaxial female connector. The coaxial male connector includes: an inner contact; a monolithic outer body having a plurality of spring fingers and a shoulder that is located radially outward of the spring fingers; a dielectric spacer disposed between the inner contact and the outer body such that the outer body is coaxial with the inner contact; and a coupling nut that at least partially overlies the outer body. The coaxial connector includes: an inner contact having a plurality of spring fingers mated with the spring fingers of the inner contact of the male connector; an outer body having an inner surface and a contact surface at one end, the contact surface contacting the shoulder of the outer body of the male connector; and a dielectric spacer disposed between the inner contact and the outer body such that the outer body is coaxial with the inner contact, the spacer being configured so that a gap is present between an outer surface of the spacer and the inner surface of the outer body. The spring fingers of the outer body of the male connector contact the inner surface of the outer body and apply radial pressure thereto.
