Title: Antenna connector

Abstract: An electrical connector especially suitable for coupling an antenna leadin with a printed circuit board in a receiver chassis comprises a tubular sheet metal body formed from an originally flat blank and with confronting edges along a longitudinal joint. Opposite ends of the body have means for connecting it in functioning position. One end of the body provides a plug-receiving socket. A dielectric support located within the body spaced from the socket end carries an electrical contact for engagement by a plug inserted into the socket. Means connecting the dielectric support and the body together include a mechanical interlock retaining the body against spreading open at the joint in the vacinity of the support. A plurality of forms of the interlock are provided. A method of making the connector is disclosed.
