Abstract

A mobile phone coaxial connector assembly (2) comprises a switching coaxial connector (4) for connection to an external antenna, and a second coaxial connector (6) for connection to an internal antenna (70). The switching connector (4) and internal antenna connector (6) are provided with a common dielectric housing (8) such that the connectors form a single assembly. The internal antenna connector comprises a resiliently mounted center contact (58) having a large dome-shaped contact surface (68) for positional tolerance absorption.
