A coaxial cable for transmitting high frequency signals includes includes a body having a center conductor and a shield formed coaxially around the center conductor and separated from the center conductor by a layer of dielectric having an annular layer of electro-static-discharge polymer. The cable also includes conductive pads to engage contacts on a mating connector. At least one of the conductive pads is attached to the center conductor and at least another one of the conductive pads is attached to the shield.

Coaxial cable for overvoltage protection

A tester interface assembly is disclosed for coupling a plurality of tester electronic channels to a device-interface-board. The tester interface assembly includes at least one harness assembly having a plurality of coaxial cables, each cable including a body having a center conductor and a shield. The shield is formed coaxially around the center conductor and separated therefrom by a layer of dielectric. Each cable further includes a distal tip formed substantially similar to the body and including respective formed conductive pads disposed on the distal extremities of the center conductor and the shield. The harness employs a housing formed with an internal cavity for receiving and securing the cable distal ends in close-spaced relationship such that the distal tips form an interface engagement plane. A compliant interconnect is interposed between the harness assembly and the device-interface-board, and includes a plurality of conductors formed to engage the cable distal ends along the engagement plane.
