Abstract
Abstract A coaxial jack connector for electrical connection to signal and ground conductive paths of a printed circuit board comprises an outer metal body member having a substantially tubular section and a U-shaped section which includes terminal sections for electrical connection with the ground conductive path, a dielectric member having a section disposed along the outer body member, a center contact member is disposed in the dielectric member and has a contact section extending along an axis of the dielectric member and a terminal section extending outside the dielectric member between the terminal sections, an outer contact member extends along an outer surface of the dielectric member and engages the body member between the body member and the dielectric member, and a ferrule member is crimped onto the tubular section securing the outer contact member in the tubular section.
