<p>The switch connector is for use in the field of communication equipment, such as cellular telephones, to allow for switching from one antenna, i.e. internal, to another, i.e. external. The switch connector comprises first and second intermatable, generally circular connector members (20, 50). The first connector member (20) comprises a metallic shell (22) having a dielectric insert (30) therein. The insert (30) includes a centra through cavity, and a pair of formed, electrical, spring contact arms (34) arranged to electrically interconnect in a resiled condition. The second connector member (50) comprises a metallic shell (52) having a dielectric insert (58) therein. The insert includes a central through hole for receiving a single formed contact arm (66) having a mating end (74) supported by the insert (58). As the connector members are brought into mating engagement, with the respective shells in electrical contact, the end (74) of the contact arm (66) of the second connector member (50) effects disconnection of the contact arms (34) of the first connector (20) while electrically connecting with one of the contact arms. <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
