An antenna (100) has a connector (200) having a ground lead (102) and a signal lead (114). A dielectric (112) captures and embeds the connector (200) forming a connector substrate assembly (120) having a first side (122) and a second opposite side (124). A first conductive material (104) is affixed to the first side (122) of the connector substrate assembly (120) and coupling to the ground lead (102) and a second conductive material (110) is affixed to the second opposite side (124) of the connector substrate assembly (112) coupling the signal lead (114).

A printed circuit substrate interconnection is made between two printed circuit substrates. A first printed circuit substrate (10) is a laminate of at least two dielectric layers (12, 14), and has a first circuit pattern (16) disposed between the two layers. The circuit pattern terminates in one or more lands or pads (17) located near a vertical edge (13) of the layer. The second dielectric layer is laminated to the first layer, over the circuit pattern, so as to reveal the lands. A second printed circuit substrate (20) is a laminate of at least one dielectric layer (22), and has a second circuit pattern (26) terminating in one or more lands or pads (27) located near a vertical edge (23) of the layer, and in a pattern corresponding to the lands of the first circuit pattern. The first printed circuit substrated (10) is coupled to the second printed circuit substrate (20) so as to co-operatively mate the two printed circuit substrates, forming an electrical interconnection between the first circuit pattern lands (17) and the second circuit pattern lands (27).

Printed circuit board interconnection

An electrical socket (10) for interconnecting a printed circuit surface (11) and a coaxial connector (12), comprising a molded plateable dielectric body (10'). The body (10') has a plated center contact portion (20) for selectively receiving the coaxial connector (12) and surface mounting with the printed circuit surface (11). Similarly, the body (10') also has a plated ground contact portion (21) for selectively receiving the coaxial connector (12) and surface mounting with the printed circuit surface (11), wherein the portions are integrally formed as a single piece (10').
