ABSTRACT:
A switching coaxial electrical connection arrangement (10) including a plug (60) and a receptacle (20). The plug (60) has an outer shell (68), a dielectric (70) disposed inside the shell (68) and a center contact (72). The center contact (72) has a pin (104) extending from the dielectric (70) toward a mating end (64). The pin (104) is located along an axis which is separate from the central axis of the plug (60). Upon mating with the receptacle (20), the pin (104) engages a movable contact (38) at a point which is off center to urge the movable contact (38) away from a fixed contact (36). Because the movable contact (38) is engaged and urged at a point which is off center, it both translates and rotates away from the fixed contact (36).
