Abstract: A test socket for a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) is provided. The test socket includes a socket body configured to engage the semiconductor IC and a load board and an elastomer retainer including a top surface adjacent to the socket body and configured to face the semiconductor IC, and a bottom surface configured to face a load board. The elastomer retainer defines a slot extending from the top surface to the bottom surface. The test socket further includes a rotational contact positioned in the slot. The rotational contact is configured to move between a free state, a pre-load state, and a loaded state. The elastomer retainer is configured to compress under a pre-load force from the rotational contact when moving from the free state to the pre-load state, and compress under a loading force from the rotational contact when moving from the pre-load state to the loaded state.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for reducing electrical arcing in a connector. The connector includes a pin contact having a pin tip end and a pin base end, the pin contact at the pin base end being made of a first material having a first resistance and the plug contact at the tip end being made of a second material having a second resistance greater than the first resistance. The connector also includes a socket contact configured to receive the pin contact, and the socket contact configured to establish an electrical connection with the pin contact to transfer electrical power, the second material of the pin contact configured to prevent electrical arcing by suppressing electrical voltage when the pin contact is mated or unmated from the socket contact while electrical power is being transferred.

Abstract: A spring probe connector, a device and an assembly for interfacing a daughter card with a backplane. The spring probe connector includes a hollow barrel that defines a first opening and a second opening. The spring probe connector includes a plunger that is received by the first opening. The plunger includes a contact tip that protrudes from the first opening and makes electrical contact with the backplane. The spring probe connector includes one or more springs positioned within the hollow barrel and applies a load onto the plunger. The spring connector includes a contact end that protrudes from the second opening and connects with the printed circuit board of the modular connector assembly.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for electrical connector assemblies. The assemblies include a socket defining a signal cavity, the socket having a first socket opening and a second socket opening. The assemblies include a signal contact probe located within the signal cavity. The signal contact probe includes a first plunger received in the shell cavity and extending through a first shell opening and located in the first socket opening. The signal contact probe includes a second plunger received in the shell cavity and extending through a second shell opening and located in the second socket opening. The assemblies include an end insulation ring located in the second socket opening and around the second plunger, the end insulation ring configured to facilitate substantially constant impedance through the signal spring probe, and configured to restrict lateral movement of the second plunger within the second socket opening.

Abstract: A method of forming a fluid resistant insulator for use in a connector includes collecting a part having a surface and electrically insulating properties. The method further includes applying a superhydrophobic sealant to the surface of the part having the electrically insulating properties. The method further includes curing the part with the superhydrophobic sealant applied to allow the superhydrophobic sealant to dry.
