Abstract

A coaxial connector includes a housing carrying an insulator. The insulator carries a center contact with a spring biasing the cneter contact. A volute spring engages the housing and provides the ground or shield contact. The housing is formed of two halves with the volute spring and alignment pins holding the housing halves together. A coaxial cable has its shield clamped between the housing halves for providing the ground connection to the volute spring. The coaxial cable center conductor is connected to the center contact within the housing.
