An edge launch radio frequency (RF) signal connector includes ground contact tabs that have radially extending arms. The arms cover a gap between a substrate, such as a circuit board, and the connector to reduce the RF ground path between the RF reference ground and a signal pin supported by the connector. The arms extend radially inwardly from the protruding ground contact tabs toward a central support aperture that supports the signal pin. The arms and the ground contact tabs are formed integrally with the main connector body as one piece. The arms and the ground contact tabs may be planar in shape such that the arms and the ground contact tabs lie flush on the substrate when the connector is arranged over the edge of the substrate.

A connector includes: a cylindrical terminal to be electrically connected with a cylindrical counterpart terminal; an internal terminal located in the cylindrical terminal; and a housing holding the cylindrical terminal. The cylindrical terminal has a contact portion configured by bending a plate-shaped conductor into a cylindrical shape to contact one edge portion of the conductor with the other edge portion of the conductor. The one edge portion has a recessed shape at its circumferential end portion by reducing its thickness outwardly in a radial direction of the cylindrical terminal to configure one reduced thickness portion. The other edge portion has a recessed shape at its circumferential end portion by reducing its thickness inwardly in the radial direction to configure the other reduced thickness portion. The contact portion is configured by overlapping the one reduced thickness portion and the other reduced thickness portion.
