Abstract
According to this invention a central conductor of a probe is connected to that of a coaxial cable by joining a shell and cylindrical metal fitting. An end of an inner insulator of the coaxial cable enters a larger diameter portion of an elastic cylinder which fits in a fixed position of the cylindrical metal fitting, a central conductor of the coaxial cable stretching further to penetrate a narrower diameter portion adjacent to the larger diameter portion. A pin is pressed into the narrower diameter portion from the other side of the larger diameter portion side. By this operation the central conductor is held tightly between the surfaces of the narrower diameter portion and the pin. When the connection of the probe and cylindrical metal fitting is completed, the pin deforms the elastic cylinder so that the central conductor of the probe contacts tightly with the pin, which enables complete conductivity between the central condutors.
