  • Electrical contact and housing for use as an interface between a testing fixture and a device under test
    Patent number: 6252289
    Abstract: An electrical contact, preferably made from a gold-plated, beryllium-copper flat stock which allows radio-frequency signal to pass with low noise, is provided within a housing. The electrical contact has two arms for contact with two external circuits. The electrical contact further has a pivot for allowing the electrical contact to adjust within the housing. The housing supports the electrical contact and is provided with a pivot point, such as a non-conducting rubber tip, for meeting the pivot of the electrical contact. The housing combined with one or more of the electrical contacts results in a testing port especially suited for providing high frequency communication between an electrical testing fixture and a device under test, such as a high-frequency hybrid integrated circuit.
