Abstract

A switching coaxial jack includes first and second parallel aligned electrically conductive coaxial center conductors. The center conductors are divided into front and rear portions. The rear portions include movable springs to separate the rear portions from the front portions. A V-shaped switching spring connects the rear portions. Levers push the rear portions out of connection with the switching spring and into connection with the front portions upon insertion of plugs into forward ports of the jack.
