Abstract

A switching coaxial jack module includes two center conductors contained within a housing. The center conductors include front and rear portions which are axially movable relative to one another between connect and disconnect positions. In the connect position, the front portions are electrically connected to the rear portions. In the disconnect position, the front portions are electrically disconnected from the rear portions. A switch mechanism is contained within the interior to electrically connect the rear portions when both of the front portions are in the disconnect position and to electrically disconnect the rear portions when at least one of the front portions is in the connect position.
