Abstract
A structure for a passive microwave device. The structure includes a housing having circumferential side portions and selectively located openings in the side portions. In addition, electrical conductors for the passive device extend from the openings. The structure further includes substantially rigid supports which provide structural support for the conductors. The conductors are positioned above the supports and are electrically connected to contacts which are secured in apertures formed in the supports. A dielectric material is disposed on a perimeter of each of the contacts which serves to isolate each of the contacts from the support when the contact is positioned within the aperture.
