1. A coaxial connector, comprisinga conductive contact post that has a pedestal and a post extending from the pedestal;
- a ground plane extension that is separate from the contact post, the ground plane extension including a first end that is positioned on a first side of the pedestal of the contact post and a sidewall extending from the first end, the sidewall extending beyond a second side of the pedestal of the contact post that is opposite the first sidea connector body having an internal cavity; and
an internally-threaded nut that includes a female connector port receiving cavity, the internally-threaded nut attached to at least one of the connector body and the contact post,wherein the contact post is at least partly within the internal cavity of the connector body.

Abstract
Coaxial connectors are provided that include a contact post that has a pedestal and a post extending therefrom. These connectors further include a ground plane extension that is separate from the contact post. The ground plane extension includes a first end that is positioned on a first side of the pedestal and a sidewall that extends from the first end of the ground plane extension. This sidewall extends beyond a second side of the pedestal that is opposite the first side.
