A high frequency coaxial connector capable of operating up to 40 GHz includes inner and outer conductors which are maintained in spaced relationship by an injection molded, dielectric support bead which is cylindrical, is formed of a plastic material, and is of uniform density. The inner contact is press fit into a central hole in the support bead, and the latter is press fit into the outer contact. The support bead further includes an array of apertures concentrically disposed about the central aperture and disposed parallel to said central aperture. The opposed generally parallel faces of the support bead may be provided with an annular undercut portion which intersects the array of parallel apertures. By this construction, the center contact is supported by the injection molded dielectric support bead in a manner to enable the coaxial connector to operate at high frequencies.
