摘要： An electrical connector includes a wafer formed with a ground shield made from a non-conductive material made conductive with conductive particles disposed therein, thereby eliminating the necessity of the metal ground shield plate found in prior art connectors while maintaining sufficient performance characteristics and minimizing electrical noise generated in the wafer. The wafer housing is formed with a first, insulative housing at least partially surrounding a pair of signal strips and a second, conductive housing at least partially surrounding the first, insulative housing and the signal strips. The housings provide the wafer with sufficient structural integrity, obviating the need for additional support structures or components for a wafer. Ground strips may be employed in the wafer and may be formed in the same plane as the signal strips. The second, conductive housing may be connected (e.g., molded) to the ground strips and spaced appropriately from the signal strips. The wafer may also include air gaps between the signal strips of one wafer and the conductive housing of an adjacent wafer further reducing electrical noise or other losses (e.g., cross-talk) without sacrificing significant signal strength.

摘要： The invention is directed to techniques for connecting to a signal launch using a radio frequency (RF) probe having a flat-faced side with a ground post extending from a non-peripheral region (e.g., an intermediate region between a central region and a peripheral region of the flat-faced side). The use of such a probe alleviates the need to use many RF connectors permanently mounted to signal launches on a circuit board since the probe of the invention can be temporarily connected to the signal launches without such connectors. Furthermore, the ground post of the invention probe can be configured (e.g., positioned relative to a signal post) to avoid large inductance loops thus preserving signal integrity. One arrangement of the invention is directed to an RF probe for connecting to a signal launch. The RF probe includes a cabling portion for coupling to a cable, and a base portion attached to the cabling portion. The base portion has a flat-faced side that faces the signal launch when the RF probe connects to the signal launch. The flat-faced side has (i) a central region, (ii) an outer region that extends along a periphery of the flat-faced side, and (iii) an intermediate region disposed between the central region and the outer region. The RF probe further includes a signal post for connecting to a signal conductor of the signal launch and a ground post for connecting to a ground conductor of the signal launch, when the radio frequency probe connects to the signal launch. The signal post extends from the central region of the flat-faced side of the base portion. The ground post extends from the intermediate region of the flat-faced side of the base portion.

摘要： A technique provides a radio frequency probe. The technique involves obtaining a surface mount connector having a flat-faced side that includes (i) a central region, (ii) a conductive outer region that extends along a periphery of the flat-faced side, and (iii) a conductive intermediate region disposed between the central region and the conductive outer region. The conductive outer region and the conductive intermediate region are electrically connected with each other. The technique further involves forming a cavity within the surface mount connector through the conductive intermediate region of the flat-faced side of the surface mount connector, and installing an end of a ground post within the cavity formed within the surface mount connector.
