ABSTRACT:
A self-terminating coaxial tap connector for use with an external termination element has two oppositely directed coaxial connector sockets having conncected center conductors and connected surround shields, the connected shields having a mounting tab for attachment to a printed circuit board. Within the connected shields is a secondary conductor parallel and spaced from the center conductors. Within each socket, at an end of the secondary conductor near the end of a center conductor, is a movable switch element connected to the secondary conductor and having a first switch position in contact with the center conductor when the socket is open, and having a second switch position detached from the center conductor when a mating plug connector is coupled to the socket, the switch element being moved to the second switch position by abutment with the mating plug connector. The tap connection is provided by a center conductor contact pin running from the connected center conductors and extending through and ending external of the connected shields for attachment to a printed circuit board. A secondary conductor contact pin runs from the secondary conductor and extends through and ends external of the shields for attachment to a printed circuit board. A termination circuit element is mounted on the printed circuit board and connected from the secondary conductor contact pin to the shield mounting tab.
