A COAXIAL CONNECTOR AND METHOD FOR FIXING THIS CONNECTOR TO A CIRCUIT BOARD

摘要

The invention relates to a coaxial connector (1) for mounting on a circuit board and comprising: an elongated bar-like center connector (2) whose first end is formed to receive a center connector in the counterpart of the coaxial connector, and whose second end is provided with an attachment pin (4) to connect the center connector to a conductor tab on the circuit board surface, whereby the attachment pin (4) will be positioned substantially parallel to the conductor tab; a pipe-like connector (3) whose one end is provided with a grounding pin (5) for connecting the pipe-like connector to a grounding tab on the circuit board surface. In order to fix the coaxial connector to the circuit board without separate fixing means, the grounding pin (5) is arranged to protrude from the coaxial connector (1) in such a direction that the grounding pin (5) and the attachment pin (4) together form a substantially right angle, thus making the grounding pin (5) to protrude into a hole or recess in the surface of the circuit board when the coaxial connector (1) is arranged in its place on the circuit board.
