An assembly suitable for housing electronic components can include a top shield and a bottom shield, the bottom shield having a conductive outer cover, a wall section, and a laminating portion between the conductive outer cover and the wall section. The laminating portion may include laminating material. A printed circuit board (PCB) may be positioned between the top shield and the bottom shield.

Laminated punched sheet metal electronic enclosure/shield with integrated gaskets

An adapter for an electronic interconnect assembly has a high speed coaxial interconnect for a coaxial transmission line having a central signal conductor and a surrounding shield conductor. The coaxial interconnect has a male side and a female side, with the female side including a shield sleeve having a chamber that receives a male shield contact on the male side. The shield sleeve has a contact with a compliant portion that flexibly grips the male shield contact. A mechanical alignment facility portion selected from a pair of alignment facility portions including a closely mating pocket and body has one of the male side or female side of the coaxial interconnect. An electrical signal connector is electrically coupled to the selected male or female of the coaxial interconnect.

Adapter usable with an electronic interconnect for high speed signal and data transmission

An electronic interconnect assembly has a high speed coaxial interconnect for a coaxial transmission line having a central signal conductor and a surrounding shield conductor. The coaxial interconnect has a male side and a female side, with the female side including a shield sleeve having a chamber that receives a male shield contact on the male side. The shield sleeve has a contact with a compliant portion that flexibly grips the male shield contact. A mechanical alignment facility includes a closely mating pocket and body, each attached to a respective male or female side of the interconnect. Additional data and power connectors may be included with the pocket and body.

Electronic interconnect device for high speed signal and data transmission

A keyed electronic interconnect assembly has a high speed coaxial interconnect for a coaxial transmission line having a central signal conductor and a surrounding shield conductor. The coaxial interconnect has a male side and a female side, with the female side including a shield sleeve having a chamber that receives a male shield contact on the male side. The shield sleeve has a contact with a compliant portion that flexibly grips the male shield contact. A mechanical alignment facility includes a closely mating pocket and body, each attached to a respective male or female side of the interconnect. A keying arrangement having protrusion elements and aperture elements are included in the pocket and body to provide selective mating of the pocket and body. Additional data connectors may be included with the pocket and body.

Keyed electronic interconnect device for high speed signal and data transmission

An apparatus for providing a probing interface for a circuit under test exhibits a relatively narrow profile and a vertical orientation so that it does not block access to connectors in adjacent slots. The vertical orientation is made possible by the use of a circuit material comprising alternate sections of flexible material and rigid material. Advantageously, the signal lines between the circuit card under test and its motherboard are direct and relatively short, and the probing connection points are isolated from the direct signal lines by a plurality of isolation resistors.
