Technical Field

The present invention relates to a connector, and more particularly, to a coaxial rf connector.

Background

In the prior art, the lower end of a PCB (printed circuit board) to PCB rf coaxial connector is welded to a lower PCB, and the upper end is in electrical contact with an upper PCB. The upper end outer conductor of the radio frequency coaxial connector is a contact ring, the contact ring is provided with pressure by an external spring to ensure that the contact ring is electrically contacted with the upper end PCB, the lower end outer conductor of the radio frequency coaxial connector is a shell, and the shell is welded with the lower end PCB to ensure that the contact ring is electrically connected with the lower end PCB. The contact ring and the shell are buckled by an elastic sheet. The lower half part of a central conductor of the radio frequency coaxial connector is welded with the lower end PCB to ensure the electrical connection with the lower end PCB; the upper half of the center conductor is pressed by an internal spring to ensure electrical contact with the upper PCB. The relative position between the central conductor and the shell is ensured by an insulator.

In the prior art, the central conductor has a spring probe structure (pogo pin), however, the contact pressure between the central conductor and the PCB board is completely provided by a tiny spring element disposed in the central conductor, which results in insufficient contact pressure between the central conductor and the PCB board, and affects the performance of the whole rf coaxial connector, especially the high frequency performance and Passive Inter Modulation (PIM) performance of the rf coaxial connector.

In addition, the central conductor of the spring probe structure is relatively expensive to manufacture, and in order to ensure that the spring element in the central conductor has a sufficient elastic deformation amount in the axial direction, the axial length of the central conductor is generally increased, which is not favorable for reducing the length dimension of the radio frequency coaxial connector.
