Coaxial plug and jack connectors

A coaxial connector includes matable plug and jack connector members 12, 14 with the plug connector member 12 including inner and outer shell members 24, 50 crimpably secured together along small diameter sections 32, 54 thereof to electrically connect an outer conductor 48, Fig. 10 (not shown), of a coaxial cable 16 therebetween while the center conductor (46) of the cable 16 is crimpably connected to a center contact member 28 secured in a dielectric member 26 within a large diameter section 30 of the inner shell member 24. A hood section 68 of the outer shell member 50 includes an internal latching groove 56 that matably connects with radiussed projections 88 of spring contact members 86 of a jack connector member 14 when the plug connector member 12 electrically mates with the jack connector member 14 with the center contact members 28, 76 of the plug and jack connector members 12, 14 electrically connecting with one another.
