<p>In a coaxial electrical connector (1) comprising a centre contact (4), an outer contact (7), dielectric means (9, 10) supporting the centre contact within and electrically isolated from the outer contact, and a tubular filter (21) mounted on the centre contact with an inner terminal of the filter electrically connected to the centre contact and an outer terminal of the filter electrically connected to the outer contact, the outer terminal of the filter (21) is connected to the outer contact (7) by way of a tubular conductive sleeve (23) received over the filter (21), the sleeve (23) having an outwardly directed annular flange (24) which is held against an annular shoulder (25) formed in a bore (8) in the outer contact (7) by a tubular conductive plug (26) which is press-fitted in the bore (8) in the outer contact (7), the plug (26) having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the filter (21); and that the outer diameter of the sleeve (23) being less than the inner diameter of the part of the bore (8) in the outer contact (7) receiving the sleeve (23), whereby the filter is protected from damage by the forces used for assembly of the connector.</p> |
