1. An electrical connector for mounting on a printed circuit board, comprising:
- a conductive housing having a rear wall, a pair of side walls, and a first and a second through channels extending in a front-to-back direction, each side wall defining a slot therein;
a first and a second coaxial contacts received within said first and second through channels, respectively, each coaxial contact including an inner conductor, an outer conductor enclosing said inner conductor and an insulator insulating the outer conductor from the inner conductor, said outer conductor mechanically and electrically engaging with the housing;
a lead frame assembly being attached to the rear wall of the housing, said lead frame assembly including a first lead contact, a second lead contact and an insulative portion securing the first lead contact and the second lead contact therewith, said first and second lead contacts mechanically and electrically engaged with corresponding inner conductors of said first and second coaxial contacts, respectively; and
a back cover including a pair of arms latched in the slots of the housing and a pair of ribs supporting said insulative portion of the lead frame assembly in the rear wall of the housing.

Abstract
A radio frequency connector assembly has s a die cast housing (1), a number of RF coaxial contacts (2), two insert-molded lead frame assemblies (3) and a back cover (4) with a pair of arms (41). The die cast housing includes a pair of side walls (10) each defining a slot (101) therein, a front wall (11) and a rear wall (13), and a plurality of passageways (130, 131). The arms of the back cover are latched in the corresponding slots of the side walls. The back cover has two pairs of inner and outer ribs (44, 47), each outer rib (47) defining a pair of pits (48) thereof for accommodating the inner conductors of the coaxial contacts.
