Abstract

A signal-line connector includes a connecting member, a rod-shaped conductor, a plurality of grounding members and a shell. After the connecting member, the conductor and the grounding members are assembled together with and in the shell, the conductor and the grounding members are separated by separating members to prevent signal lines connected with the conductor and the grounding members from contacting with each other accidentally, and the metal material needed for the grounding members are much saved, and their resistance is reduced a lot, with the capacitance between the grounding members and the non-metal connecting member lessened mush so that the signal-line connector may have good contact and signal transmission.

Claims

1. A signal-line connector comprising:

a connecting member made of insulating material such as plastic and shaped as a cylinder, said connecting member having an open end and a closed end, said closed end with a rear portion of said connecting member having a center through hole and two fitting grooves formed opposite in a wall defining said center through hole and extending to said open end, a separating strip provided respectively between said center through hole and said fitting grooves;

a rod-shaped conductor provided to have a rear end extending through said center through hole of said connecting member and a front end extending out of said open end of said connecting member;

two grounding members respectively fitting in said fitting grooves, having a front curved-up end;

a shell shaped cylindrical, having female threads in its inner wall to engage with said connecting member.

2. The signal-line connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein a wall defining said center through hole is provided with a plurality of annular grooves spaced apart equidistantly, and the diameter of said center through hole is the same as that of the rod-shaped conductor, which has the same number of annular projections as said annular grooves to engage with.

3. The signal-line connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein said fitting grooves respectively have a hole bored in its intermediate section.

4. The signal-line connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein said grounding members respectively have a projecting hook formed in its intermediate portion, said hook is oriented opposite to the front curved end, and the said projecting hook fits in said hole of each said fitting groove.
