Abstract
A connector comprises an inner conductor (1) and an outer conductor (2); an insulating medium (3) is provided between the inner conductor and the outer conductor, the insulating medium forming an unclosed cavity, and an opening of the unclosed cavity being a port for termination. The inner conductor comprises a first inner conductor (40) and an elastic inner conductor (60), the first inner conductor and the elastic inner conductor being disposed in the unclosed cavity; the elastic inner conductor (60) comprises an elastic member (61) having an inclinedly oriented free end portion (611) and a protrusion (612) projecting towards the first inner conductor (40); in the case where the connector is unterminated, the protrusion of the elastic inner conductor contacts the first inner conductor, and in the case where the connector is terminated, the inclinedly oriented free end portion (611) is moved substantially laterally by a terminating conductor (50) vertically inserted through the port for termination, such that the protrusion (612) is separated from the first inner conductor (40) and the terminating conductor (50) is in contact with the elastic inner conductor (60). The connector sol…
