The positioning portion 17 is provided on the inner surface portion 16j of the external contact portion 16b so as to project toward the outer surface portion 12j of the internal holding portion 12a and abut on the outer surface portion 12j of the internal holding portion 12a. Has been done.

According to the above embodiment, since the convex positioning portion 17 functions as a reinforcing body, the external contact portion 16b of the external terminal 16 is less likely to be deformed.

Further, in the positioning structure of the insulating member 12 in the L-shaped coaxial connector 10 of one embodiment,
The positioning portion 17 is arranged substantially line-symmetrically with respect to the virtual center line O connecting the center conductor connecting portion 14b and the internal contact portion 14a when viewed from the axial direction.

According to the above embodiment, since the positioning unit 17 prevents the electric field and the capacitive coupling from becoming non-uniform, it is possible to reduce unnecessary reflection in the high frequency band (for example, the megahertz band or the gigahertz band).

Further, in the positioning structure of the insulating member 12 in the L-shaped coaxial connector 10 of one embodiment,
The positioning portions 17 are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction.

According to the above embodiment, since the positioning unit 17 prevents the electric field and the capacitive coupling from becoming non-uniform, it is possible to reduce unnecessary reflection in the high frequency band (for example, the megahertz band or the gigahertz band).

Further, in the positioning structure of the insulating member 12 in the L-shaped coaxial connector 10 of one embodiment,
The external terminal 16 has a retaining portion 16e for preventing the central conductor holding portion 12b from coming off between the external contact portion 16b and the rotation restricting portion 16d.

According to the above embodiment, the retaining portion 16e prevents the central conductor holding portion 12b of the insulating member 12 from coming off in the axial direction, and the insulating member 12 is held and fixed to the external terminal 16.

Further, in the positioning structure of the insulating member 12 in the L-shaped coaxial connector 10 of one embodiment,
The internal terminal 14 is integrated with the insulating member 12 by insert molding.

According to the above embodiment, the positioning between the insulating member 12 and the internal terminal 14 can be accurately performed.

Further, in the positioning structure of the insulating member 12 in the L-shaped coaxial connector 10 of one embodiment,
The internal holding portion 12a is configured to be mountable in the axial direction with respect to the external contact portion 16b.

According to the above embodiment, the external contact portion 16b is less likely to be deformed than in the case where a plurality of spring pieces are formed in the tubular portion of the external terminal by the plurality of slits extending in the axial direction, so that stable fitting can be achieved. can get.
