Abstract

There is disclosed a coaxial contact for termination to a coaxial cable. The coaxial contact has an electrically conductive shell defining an open forward end (116). A center contact (56) for termination to a center conductor (208) of the cable has a mating portion defining cantilever beam means (60) extending to respective distal ends (54). The center contact (56) is disposed concentrically within and isolated from shell (104) by a first dielectric insert (26). A second dielectric insert (192) having a forward portion (232) and a rearward portion (234) is secured in the shell proximate the forward end (116). The second insert (192) has an axial bore (220) therein for receiving a center pin contact of a mating connector. The rearward portion receives within bore (220) the distal ends (54) and a limited length of the cantilever beam means (60).
