ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly is provided for engagement with a mating connector and a coaxial device. The connector assembly includes a body member attachable to the coaxial device. The body member is also attachable to the mating connector. An outer contact spring is provided with an annular base for threadably connecting to the body member. The annular base has a plurality of spring fingers extending longitudinally away from the annular base, each one of the plurality of spring fingers includes a base end and a distal end. Each adjacent pair of the spring fingers define a longitudinal slit that is narrow enough to prevent inward flexure of the spring fingers beyond a point where the flexed spring finger contacts an adjacent spring finger.
