Connector for high frequency signals

摘要

A connector for high frequency signals comprises a housing of insulating material and a plurality of male contact elements. The housing has a bottom and two opposite side walls extending upwardly from the bottom, the bottom and side walls determining a receiving space. The bottom is provided with cavities regularly arranged in rows and columns. Each of the contact elements is mounted in a cavity, an upper end of each contact element projecting into the receiving space. At least a plurality of the cavities are metallized at their the inner walls and the contact elements are mounted in the metallized cavities by means of at least one support element of insulating material. Each support element comprises a body having an outer dimension which is smaller than the inner dimension of the corresponding cavity, and a plurality of ledges extending mainly in axial direction of the contact element and determining an outer dimension which is larger than the inner dimension of the corresponding cavity.
