<p>A coaxial connector (2) is provided having a central insulator (6) which surrounds the signal contact, an impedance element (18) such as a resistor disposed around the outside of the central insulator (6) which is in contact with the outer conductive housing (4) on one end and a spring (10) on the other end. The spring (10) extends around and along the outside of the central insulator (6) and is in contact with a switch contact (14) which is also disposed around the central insulator. The switch contact (18) is biased towards, and is normally in contact with the center conductor (12). The switch is actuated by an actuator (16) which is placed around the center conductor (12) and is movable in cooperation with the mating connector (90) to open or separate the switch contact (14) from the center conductor (12).</p> |
