A connector for sending power to an IC-chip thru two pressed joints in series; includes a solid block having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a side with a slot that extends from the top surface to the bottom surface; and 2) a springy strip of metal having a center section which is held by the slot in the block. The springy strip also has a first end section which extends from the center section and includes a springy input contact that is cantilevered above the top surface of the block. The springy strip further has a second end section which extends from the center section and includes a springy output contact that is cantilevered below the bottom surface of the block.

Connector for sending power to an IC-chip thru two pressed joints in series

A connector for sending power to an IC-chip thru four pressed joints in series includes a solid conductive block having a top surface with a first pair of spaced-apart channels and a bottom surface with a second pair of spaced apart channels. The connector also includes a first springy contact having a center section which touches the top surface of the block in the space between the first pair of channels, and having two ends which are held by the first pair of channels. The connector further includes a second springy contact having a center section which touches the bottom surface of the block in the space between the second pair of channels, and having two ends which are held by the second pair of channels.

Connector for sending power to an IC-chip thru four pressed joints in series

A connector for making multiple pressed co-axial connections is comprised of an electrically conductive block which has a top surface, a bottom surface, a plurality of signal holes which extend from the top surface to the bottom surface, and a ground terminal. Top and bottom electrically insulative plates are respectively attached to the top and bottom surfaces of the block. Each plate has alignment holes that are aligned with the signal holes; lying in each signal hole is the body of a respective signal contact; and each signal contact has two springy probes which extend from the body thru respective alignment holes in the top and bottom plates. These springy probes are for contacting external signal pads, and they hold the body of each signal contact such that it is surrounded by a uniform air gap in the center of its respective signal hole.
