Abstract
Abstract In a high frequency parallel strip line cable including a pair of thin-film-shaped earth conductors formed on both surfaces of a dielectric body so as to oppose to each other, a thin-film-shaped center conductor is formed in the dielectric body so as to be located between the pair of earth conductors, and the connector part is formed in one end of the high frequency parallel strip line cable so as to expose one end of the center conductor. Further, a connector is provided for connecting with the connector part of the high frequency parallel strip line cable. In the connector, a connection concave for inserting the connector part is formed in a dielectric case. An elastic center conductor terminal for electrically connecting to the center conductor of the high frequency parallel strip line cable is mounted in the dielectric case so as to extend into the connection concave, and at least one elastic earth conductor terminal for electrically connecting to at least one of the earth conductors of the high frequency parallel strip line cable is mounted in the dielectric case so as to extend into the connection concave.
