Abstract

The invention disclosed a RF coaxial connector. The RF coaxial connector comprises a plug connector and a jack connector that can be inserted into the plug connector. A groove is provided on an outer surface of said jack connector. Said plug connector includes a core body which defines an inner cavity therein, and an outer wall of said core body has through-grooves the depth of which are suitable to form openings in the outer wall of the core body. A spring extends through said through-grooves, and parts of said spring are exposed to the inner cavity of the core body through the openings and connected to the groove of said jack connector in a snap-on manner when said jack connector is inserted into said plug connector. A slide is disposed outside the core body and suitable to contact with said spring for releasing the snap-on connection of said spring to the jack connector. Preferably, a spring collar may be disposed within the inner cavity of said core body. This connector can be widely used in microwave equipment and digital communication device to connect coaxial cables.
