Abstract

A female coaxial connector having a substantially cylindrical conductive shell with an opening for receiving the columnar connecting portion of a male coaxial connector, which comprises a female contacting portion provided within the opening and having at least one pair of contact fingers extending in the circumferential direction so as to give elasticity and defining a clearance communicating with the opening, and a protective member provided in contact with or in the proximity of the outside of the female contacting portion for the protection thereof. A method of making a female coaxial connector, which comprises the steps of stamping conductive shells and protective members in integral form, folding the integral conductive shell and protective member at a bend to form a double structure, and making the double structured conductive shell and protective member into cylindrical form, followed by the insertion of an assembly of a dielectric body and a female terminal into the conductive shell.
