Abstract

An assembly, and associated method for constructing such, for connecting an electrical circuit to an electrical cable, such as an antenna connector pin, or, alternately, to a coaxial transmission line. An antenna circuit board includes a circular aperture extending therethrough for receiving a socket member to be supported thereat. Angled, segmental-slots are formed about the circular aperture and receive projecting prong-members of a clip member. The socket member receives the electrical cable, such as the antenna connector pin, or a coaxial conductor pin therein. The clip member engages with a coaxial tube of the coaxial transmission line. The assembly permits alternate connection thereto of either the electrical cable or the coaxial transmission line thereat.
