The diameter of the connecting end 11 is larger than the diameter of other parts of the inner conductor 1; a welding ring 32 is arranged at the bottom of the outer conductor 3, the welding end 11 of the inner conductor 1 is located at the center of the welding ring 32, the bottom surface of the welding end 11 is flush with the bottom surface of the welding ring 32 or is within 0.05 mm of the bottom surface of the welding ring 32, and a positioning column 33 is arranged at the bottom of the welding ring 32. There are multiple positioning columns 33, and the multiple positioning columns 33 are symmetrically distributed around the center of the welding ring 32. There can be 4 welding rings 32.
[0025] In this way, since the lower end of the inner conductor 1 is provided with a welding end 11, and the diameter of the welding end 11 is larger than the diameter of other parts of the inner conductor 1, the contact area between the inner conductor welding end 11 and the printed circuit board pad can be effectively increased; at the same time, since the bottom of the outer conductor 3 is provided with a welding ring 32, and the bottom of the welding ring 32 is provided with a positioning column 33, the surface mount connector can be welded in the printed circuit board through the welding ring 32 to achieve a vertical surface mount connection with the printed circuit board, and the positioning column 33 is used to be installed in a matching printed circuit board circular hole to achieve precise positioning of the connector and the printed circuit board pad, thereby avoiding a reduction in the effective welding area due to position deviation between the inner conductor 1, the outer conductor 3 and the printed circuit board pad in the connector.
