A low passive intermodulation (PIM) coaxial-to-printed circuit board (PCB) interface and method of constructing the same. According to one aspect, a coaxial-to-PCB interface couples signals between an electrical conductor trace in the PCB and an inner conductor of a coaxial structure having an insulator surrounded by an outer conductor. A metallic cylinder is inserted over the outer conductor of the coaxial structure and positioning the coaxial structure with respect to the PCB so that the outer conductor and insulator of the coaxial structure lie below a lower surface of the PCB. The inner conductor of the coaxial structure is inserted into a via extending from the lower surface of the PCB to an upper surface of the PCB. Solder is deposited in the via to provide an electrically conductive path between the electrical conductor trace of the PCB and the inner conductor of the coaxial structure.
