Abstract
A coaxial connector that is mountable to a substrate is disclosed. The coaxial connector includes an electrically conductive inner contact for conducting a signal through the connector, an electrically conductive outer shell disposed generally coaxially around the inner contact, and an insulator disposed between the inner contact and the outer shell for insulating the inner contact electrically from the outer shell. The connector also includes an integral electronic component, such as a transformer, disposed within the outer shell. The electronic component has a first terminal in electrical contact with the inner contact, a second terminal in electrical contact with the outer shell, and a third terminal, isolated from the first and second terminals, adapted for electrical contact to the substrate.
