  • Publication number: 20230029789
    Abstract: Various embodiments of an interconnect device and modules and systems that utilize such interconnect device are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the interconnect device can include a printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB can include a substrate forming a resiliently deflectable element, a conductive material disposed on the substrate, and an electrical contact disposed on the resiliently deflectable element and electrically coupled to the conductive material. The interconnect device can also include a connector that includes a connecting pin configured to electrically couple with the electrical contact of the resiliently deflectable element of the PCB and cause the resiliently deflectable element to deflect when the element contacts the connecting pin.

  • Publication number: 20230020293
    Abstract: A connector assembly and method of attaching the same to one or more biosensor module boards. The connector assembly includes a body portion defining a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The connector assembly also includes a coaxial RF connector positioned in the body portion and extending between the first surface and the second surface. The coaxial RF connector includes a ground ring, an RF pin positioned within the ground ring, and dielectric therebetween. The connector assembly is configured to be coupled to an RF detection board such that the coaxial RF connector is operably coupled thereto. The connector assembly is also configured to be connected to a biosensor module board such that the coaxial RF connector is operably connected thereto.
