Abstract
The present invention provides a novel method of constructing a coax spring-pin socket that furnishes better performance and is easier to manufacture in volume using common dielectrics and copper plating. This is accomplished by, in application, a lamination of PCB dielectric layers. This dielectric block is then drilled, plated, etched, and drilled in steps for the construction of a coaxial structure for the signal pins, and a ground structure for ground pins. This design process that can be quickly adjusted and customized for each design.
