Abstract
The angled coaxial connector includes an insulator and inner conductor. The steering insulator serves to help guide, align, and locate an inner conductor in the bend of the angled connector. The steering insulator is adapted to receive and retain the inner conductor thereby framing and supporting the conductor. Furthermore, the inner conductor has an angled segment that is milled to have a width and a height, wherein the height of said angled segment is smaller than the width of the angled segment, more particularly, the width is substantially the same size as the diameter of the adjacent segments of the inner conductor. While the illustrated embodiment includes a substantially right angled connector it is understood that the present invention is directed to connectors having either obtuse or acute angles as well.
