[PROBLEMS] To provide a coaxial connector assembly maintaining a characteristic impedance and allowing floating. [SOLUTION] First to third coaxial connectors 10 to 30 are provided. A second center conductor 23 of the second coaxial connector 20 has a second shaft portion 23A held by a second dielectric body 22, a right columnar one-end-side contact portion 23B to be fitted in a first receiving portion 13B of the first coaxial connector 10, and the other-end-side contact portion 23C to be fitted in a third center contact portion 33B of the third coaxial connector 30. The one-end-side contact portion 23B is larger than the outer diameter of the second shaft portion 23A. A distance in a radial direction between the one-end-side contact portion 23B and a first fitting portion 11B of a first external conductor 13 is impedance-matched to an impedance between a first center conductor 13 and the periphery thereof and an impedance between the second shaft portion 23A of the second center conductor 23 and the periphery thereof. The first and second coaxial connectors 10, 20 and the second and third coaxial connectors 20, 30 form floating structures.
