Patent attributes
A coaxial electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a front mating face and a rear face. A first, central terminal-receiving passage extends in a direction between the faces, along with at least one second, auxiliary terminal-receiving passage. At least one auxiliary terminal is received in the second passage. A center terminal is received in the first passage and includes an elongated mating portion projecting toward the mating face of the housing and defining a center axis. The elongated mating portion has a front mating end and a rear end. A terminating portion is spaced radially of the mating portion. A connecting portion joins the mating portion and the terminating portion. The connecting portion includes a stabilizing section which extends rearwardly along the axis from the rear end of the mating portion. The stabilizing section bears against a section of the first passage in the housing to stabilize the elongated mating portion of the center terminal.
