Abstract
An electrical connector in a portable telecommunication device with a built-in antenna to enable the device to connect with an external antenna, comprises a dielectric housing having a base portion defining first and second chambers communicating with each other via a passage, and a cylindrical portion defining a hole therethrough in communication with the first chamber, a first contact fixedly received in the first chamber and electrically connecting with speaker/receiver circuitry of the device and a second contact fixedly received in the second chamber and electrically connecting with the built-in antenna. When the connector does not connect with a mating connector in electrical connection with an external antenna, the first contact electrically engages with the second contact by a spring force generated from the first contact. When the connector is connected with a mating connector in connection with an external antenna by extending a conductive pin of the mating connector through the hole in the cylindrical portion into the first chamber, the pin engages with the first contact and prevents it from engagement with the second contact.
