A coaxial connector comprising a male half of conventional construction and a female half having an annular electrical contact member which is a spring and which functions to provide continuous annular outer conductor electrical contact and RFI suppression. The annular spring member provides continuous annular outer conductor contact even during slight conductor misalignment or matched pairs not totally seated.
