Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassH01R 017/04AbstractA connector module is provided which includes a base which houses a metal shell, and a first metal connector such as a female connector, and a cover which encloses the metal shell and female connector relative to the base. The base includes projections which extend into apertures in a second metal connector such as a male connector, which has been mated with the female connector, to prevent inadvertent rotational movement between the male and female connectors. The metal shell includes protrusions which mate with protuberances of the male connector to prevent inadvertent axial movement between the male and female connectors.Field of SearchHaving only push-pull-engaging contacts spaced along longitudinal axis of engagement (e.g., jack-type receptacle or plug)For receiving coaxial connector Adapted to join cable conductors to different type conductors (e.g., to PCB conductors) With guiding means for inserted contact Insulating body divided parallel to longitudinal axis of engagement (e.g., formed of two casing halves) Having annular, push-pull-engaging contact concentrically disposed about longitudinal axis of engagement Having latching detent or means operated by mating contact to lock or manipulate resilient part | |
