Conjunto de conector e conector de cabo coaxial de baixo perfil

This invention is directed to a low profile coaxial cable connector assembly for edge mounting to a planar electronic device, such as a printed circuit board, where electrical circuitry is provided thereon for electrically interconnecting to the assembly. The assembly comprises a dielectric housing (70, 130) having at one end thereof a pair of spaced-apart, parallel walls (72, 74, 134, 136) adapted to straddle and be secured to the planar electronic device, and at the opposite end thereof a chamber (86) for the reception of an electrically terminated coaxial cable. Within the other end a grounding contact clip (80, 142) is provided having a pair of parallelly extending spring metal arms (110) for receiving the terminated coaxial cable, and a signal contact (104, 150) for mating with the terminated coaxial cable. The grounding clip (80, 142) and signal contact (104,150) further include extensions therefrom for electrically interconnecting to said planar electronic device, where the extensions are exposed between the spaced-apart walls (72, 74, 134, 136) and may be soldered to complementary traces or pads on the surfaces of the planar electronic device.
