  • Coaxial cable for overvoltage protection
    Patent number: 6939175
    Abstract: A coaxial cable for transmitting high frequency signals includes includes a body having a center conductor and a shield formed coaxially around the center conductor and separated from the center conductor by a layer of dielectric having an annular layer of electro-static-discharge polymer. The cable also includes conductive pads to engage contacts on a mating connector. At least one of the conductive pads is attached to the center conductor and at least another one of the conductive pads is attached to the shield.
    Type: Grant

  • Coaxial cable for ATE with overvoltage protection
    Publication number: 20030122538
    Abstract: A tester interface assembly is disclosed for coupling a plurality of tester electronic channels to a device-interface-board. The tester interface assembly includes at least one harness assembly having a plurality of coaxial cables, each cable including a body having a center conductor and a shield. The shield is formed coaxially around the center conductor and separated therefrom by a layer of dielectric. Each cable further includes a distal tip formed substantially similar to the body and including respective formed conductive pads disposed on the distal extremities of the center conductor and the shield. The harness employs a housing formed with an internal cavity for receiving and securing the cable distal ends in close-spaced relationship such that the distal tips form an interface engagement plane. A compliant interconnect is interposed between the harness assembly and the device-interface-board, and includes a plurality of conductors formed to engage the cable distal ends along the engagement plane.
