Abstract

A connector comprises a plurality of outer conductors including a first outer conductor and a second outer conductor slidably assembled together, a plurality of center conductors disposed in the outer conductors and including a first center conductor and a second center conductor slidably assembled together, an insulation seat molded on the first outer conductor, and a first elastic element disposed outside of a portion of the outer conductors. The first outer conductor has an electrical contact pin configured to electrically contact a first electronic component. The electrical contact pin is exposed outside from a surface of the insulation seat. An end of the first elastic element abuts the insulation seat and is adapted to apply an axial thrust to the first outer conductor.
