Abstract

A right angle adaptor for a straight coaxial jack having a jack body (10) and at least one jack terminal (48) extending axially from a base of the jack body. The adaptor includes an adaptor board having at least one jack terminal opening for receiving a jack terminal that extends axially from a base of a coaxial jack body. The adaptor board (200) has at least one adaptor terminal (48) mount, and a conductive path that electrically connects the adaptor terminal mount to a corresponding jack terminal opening in the adaptor board. At least one adaptor terminal has one end part electrically connected to an adaptor terminal mount on the adaptor board, and an opposite end part of the adaptor terminal extends substantially parallel to the adaptor board for connection with an outside board.
