Abstract
A radio frequency connector assembly has a die cast housing (1), a plurality of RF coaxial contacts (2) and two insert-molded lead frame assemblies (3). The die cast housing includes a pair of side walls (10) each forming a row of solder tabs (100) at a lower end thereof, a front wall (11) and a rear wall (13) defining a plurality of passageways (130, 131). The lead frame assemblies are made by insert molding contacts (300, 301) into a plastic portion (31). The lead frame assemblies are installed in passageways of the die cast housing. Tabs (133, 134, 140, 141) in the die cast housing are pressed down to hold the lead frame assemblies in place. The lead frame assemblies located within corresponding passageways (130, 131) in the die cast housing are optimized for a specific impedance.
