摘要： An interconnect structure defining an interconnect transmission line for RF signal interconnection between two substrates. The interconnect structure includes an outer shield member forming an electrically conductive outer shield structure. A solid conductor pin is sized to form an inner conductor, the pin having a first pin diameter, and a head region of a second pin diameter greater than the first pin diameter, said head region formed intermediate a first pin end and a second pin end. A first dielectric tube member has an outer diameter sized in relation to an opening dimension of the shield member to fit tightly therein, and an inner tube diameter sized to receive tightly therein a first region of the pin of the first pin diameter, the first tube member having a first tube first end and a first tube second end. A second dielectric tube member has an outer diameter sized to fit tightly in the outer shield, and an inner tube diameter sized to receive tightly therein a second region of the pin. The tubes fit within the shield to capture the pin head region. Wire bundles fabricated of densely packed wire are packed within the tubes in compression against the ends of the solid conductor pin, and protrude from the ends of the shield for making electrical contact with surfaces of mating substrates.

摘要： A microwave frequency three-wire transmission line provides the capability of solderless interconnections between stacked microwave hybrid and printed wiring board (PWB) assemblies. Three wire-like compressible conductors are embedded in a dielectric support member. Each compressible conductor is realized by densely packing thin wire into an opening in the supporting dielectric. The dielectric preferably has a metal shielding surrounding the outer periphery to suppress higher order modes. A vertical right angle bend transition uses the transmission line to interconnect between grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) transmission lines. This orthogonal transition uses button spring contacts, thus creating a reusable solderless vertical interconnection between the two transmission lines. This transition can operate from DC to greater than 15 GHz with good match and low loss, and allows a transition from a GCPW transmission line on a first substrate to another GCPW transmission line on a second substrate stacked above the first substrate.

摘要： An RF connector includes male and female connector components. The male component has a multi-diameter dielectric housing cylinder with a metal center conductor extending through an opening in the housing. The center pin extends from each end of the dielectric housing. The center pin and the dielectric housing are sized appropriately to provide a matched impedance at microwave frequencies for the use environment to which the male component is connected. The female connector component includes a dielectric body having a center cavity formed therein. A compressible wire bundle forming a compressible conductor member is recessed into the cavity. The compressible conductor protrudes from the far end of the female cavity allowing contact to a mating circuitry. The male connector component is assembled with the female component, the male center pin being brought into electrical contact with the compressible conductor member. The female connector component is not mechanically mounted to the next level of interconnect, but instead the protruding compressible conductor is brought into compressive electrical contact with a mating circuitry on the next interconnect level.

摘要： A connector which provides an interconnect between a pin and a flat conductor. The connector employs two bundles fabricated of densely packed gold plated wire for the electrical connection to the devices. The bundles are both housed in a dielectric sleeve structure and are themselves connected by a solid conductor. A portion of one wire bundle protrudes from one end of the sleeve structure to make electrical contact with a flat conductor in a mating assembly. The second wire bundle is recessed within the sleeve structure adjacent a second end of the sleeve structure. The pin is inserted into the second end in an installation, making electrical contact with the second wire bundle. The outside body of the connector is threaded, allowing an operator to twist the connector into the mating assembly, not requiring tight tolerances to ensure proper contact. The connector provides a robust electrical connection, and also provides for misalignment of the flat connector in addition to variations in the exact location of the pin. The length of the pin in the mating part can vary considerably, and the connector device still provides a controlled impedance interconnect over microwave frequencies. The connector can be installed in a larger assembly thus providing a large number of interconnections to be mating simultaneously. This is accomplished by providing clearances and tapers in the mating housing.
