A coaxial connector assembly including a plug connector and a receptacle connector each holding a coaxial terminal including a center and an external terminal surrounding the center terminal, wherein housings of the plug connector and the receptacle connector have an engageable/disengageable lock mechanism, in an engagement state, a range of relative movement between the coaxial terminals in an axial direction is smaller than a shorter one of a center terminal effective fitting length, which is a distance from a start position to an end position of contact between the center terminals, or an external terminal effective fitting length, which is a distance from a start position to an end position of contact between the external terminals, and an impedance in the axial direction range of the minimum effective fitting length is matched to a specific impedance.

A connector assembly includes a connector-body having electrical-terminals. The electrical-terminals are inserted into cavities defined by the connector-body through apertures defined in a rear-face of the connector-body. The connector-body includes a lock feature configured to releasably lock the electrical-terminals within the cavities. The lock feature has a planar-member with a first-end and a second-end. The first-end defines a flex-lock feature. The second-end is attached by a hinge to a leading-edge of the outer-surface of the connector-body proximate the front-face. The flex-lock feature defines a hook-side and a wall-side disposed within a slot defined by the connector-body. The hook-side is configured to releasably engage a locking-shelf partially enclosing the slot. The wall-side engages the electrical-terminals when the hook-side engages the locking-shelf. When a removal-force is applied to the electrical-terminals, the removal-force is transferred through the hook-side to the locking-shelf, thereby inhibiting removal of the electrical-terminals from the cavities.

An electrical connector system with a receptacle and plug. The receptacle has a metal housing encircling an insulative housing. A side wall of the metal housing is separated from a corresponding side wall of the insulative housing, leaving a groove. The plug has a wall, extending from an insulative housing of the plug, parallel to a paddle card. The metal housing may be shaped to engage with the wall during mating of the plug and receptacle, facilitating alignment of the paddle card and plug interface of the receptacle. The wall may also carry latching components, which may latch to corresponding features of the metal housing, reducing the height of the mated connectors in comparison to configurations in which the latching components are mounted to the insulative housing of the plug. The receptacle housing may have asymmetric support parts, providing support in a compact space.

A connector with a lock mechanism includes a connector 10 and a counterpart connector 20. A connector main body 11 of the connector 10 has an annular groove 113. An inner sleeve 17 and an outer sleeve are arranged movably in an axial direction on an outer circumferential surface of the connector main body 11 and outside the inner sleeve 17, respectively. The outer sleeve 13 has a locking pin 15 projecting from an inner circumferential surface close to a front end of the outer sleeve 13. A ball accommodation hole 22, an inlet groove 26, and a circumferential direction groove 28 are formed in a tubular member 21 of the counterpart connector 20. When the connector main body 11 is inserted into the tubular member 21, an engaging ball 23 accommodated in the ball accommodation hole 22 becomes engaged with the annular groove 113 and the locking pin 15 becomes engaged with the inlet groove 26, allowing the connectors to be connected with each other. When the outer sleeve 13 is rotated with respect to the tubular member 21, the locking pin 15 becomes engaged with the circumferential direction groove 28 and restricts the movement of the outer sleeve 13 and the connector main body 11 in the axial direction.
