ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to the field of communication equipment, such as cellular phones, but more particularly to a switch connector to allow for switching from one antenna, i.e. internal, to another, i.e. external. The switch connector comprises first and second intermatable, generally circular connector members, where the first connector member comprises a metallic shell having a dielectric insert therein, where the insert includes a central through cavity, and a pair of formed, electrical, spring contact arms arranged to electrically interconnect in a resiled condition. The second connector member comprises a metallic shell having a dielectric insert therein, where the insert includes a central through hole for receiving a single formed contact arm having a mating end supported by the insert. As the connector members are brought into mating engagement, with the respective shells in electrical contact, the end of the contact arm of the second connector member effects a disconnection of the contact arms of the first connector while electrically connecting with one of the contact arms.
