A connector includes a connector body including a hole, a contact disposed in the hole and arranged such that, when the connector is connected to a substrate, the contact is connected to a corresponding electrical pad on the substrate, a conductive elastomeric interface arranged such that, when the connector is connected to the substrate, the conductive elastomeric interface is between the connector body and the substrate, and a cable connected to the contact. The contact includes a ground ferrule and a locking ferrule arranged to mate with the hole, and the hole of the connector body and the locking ferrule are at least partially threaded. When the connector is connected to the substrate and when the locking ferrule is threaded with the hole, the ground ferrule contacts at least one of the conductive elastomeric interface and the upper surface of the substrate.

Cable assembly

A connector includes a connector body, a plurality of compression coaxial contacts disposed in the connector body, and a plurality of coaxial cables connected to corresponding ones of the plurality of compression coaxial contacts. The connector body includes a conductive elastomeric ground plane.

Compliant coaxial connector

A cable terminal or connector has several electrical probes. Each probe has a conductive sleeve defining a bore, with a probe pin received in the bore. The probe pin has a free end contact tip extending in a first direction beyond the periphery of a circuit board supporting the sleeves, with the probe pin being biased in the first direction. The probe pin includes an electrical component near the tip. The component may be a resistor and capacitor arranged in parallel, and providing the sole electrical communication between the first and second portions. The component may be mounted between flanges on each of the first and second components, and enclosed in a sleeve connected to the flanges. The second portion with the tip is relatively short compared to other components and dimensions of the probe and connector.

Cable terminal with contact pins including electrical component

A cable assembly includes a printed circuit board having a pattern of conductive traces on a major surface of the board. The cable has a number of conductors electrically connected to the traces, and a number of elongated spring contact elements are connected to the board. Each contact element has a sleeve oriented parallel to the major surface and connected to a first pad portion of a selected trace. Each contact element has an spring pin slidably received in the sleeve and extending beyond a first peripheral edge portion of the board.
