Abstract: An improved method and structure is provided for constructing elastomeric pin arrays using a non-conductive medium and compression limiters. Pin to pin of the same elastomeric material, pin to pin of similar elastomeric material, or pin to metal cap structure interconnects are constructed using an elastomeric connection through a non-conductive medium. Compression limiting structures are mated to the non-conductive medium. This structure eliminates the need for PCB structures as the medium reducing manufacturing cost.

Abstract: A method and structure is provided for constructing elastomeric pin arrays using solder interconnects and a non-conductive medium. Pin to pin interconnects are constructed using a solder connection through a non-conductive medium. This structure eliminates the need for PCB structures as the medium, reducing manufacturing cost. In another embodiment one or more elastomeric columns extend through holes or openings in the non conductive medium. The elastomeric columns are fixed securely within the holes preferably with adhesive material. Compression stops are provided on both sides of each elastomeric column for both the upper and bottom surfaces of the non conductive medium.

Abstract: A method and structure for improving signal integrity probing. A coaxial or a microcoaxial cable is threaded through an optional alignment substrate where the cable is used to support or align the cable or an array of cables. A conductive elastomer is placed on a cable or a microcoaxial cable to improve signal integrity probing.

Pin to pin interconnects are constructed using a solder connection through a non-conductive medium. This structure eliminates the need for PCB structures as the medium, reducing manufacturing cost. In another embodiment a non conductive medium has holes therein and serves as a compression stop. One or more first elastomeric column is formed on an upper side of a conductive disc. The conductive disc is fixedly adhered to a pad located on an underside of the non conductive medium aligned so that the one or more first elastomeric column extends through said holes of the non conductive medium. One or more second elastomeric column is formed on an underside or bottom of the conductive medium or disc.

Abstract: Embedding a power modification component such as a capacitance inside of an adaptor board located to extend over and beyond the vias of the main circuit board so that a portion of the interposer board containing the embedded capacitance is located beyond where the vias or blinds are located. This permits that via to conduct through the opening. In this way, the capacitance and the resistance will have a closer contact point to the electrical component. A resistance can also be embedded in an opening in the adaptor board and be vertically aligned within the opening to make contact with a pad on top of the adaptor board and a pad at the bottom of the adaptor board so that electricity conducts through the embedded component.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to reducing unwanted RF noise in a printed circuit board (PCB) containing an RF device. An isolation filter is embedded in a PCB containing an RDF device. By placing the isolation filter as close as possible to the RF device in order to dramatically reduce unwanted RF noise due to unavoidable coupling between Vias and planes in the PCB structure.

Abstract: An electrical interconnect assembly for electrically interconnecting terminals on a first circuit member with terminals on a second circuit member. The electrical interconnect assembly includes a housing having a plurality of through openings extending between a first surface and a second surface. A plurality of composite contacts are positioned in a plurality of the through openings. The composite contacts include a conductive member having a central portion and at least first and second interface portions. One or more polymeric layers extend along at least the central portion conductive member. One or more coupling features on the composite contacts engage with the housing. At least one engagement feature formed in the polymeric layers proximate the first interface portion mechanically couples with the terminals on the first circuit member.
