Publication number: 20230335960Abstract: A twinaxial cable splitter includes first and second electrical splitter conductors that are configured to be placed in electrical communication with respective first and second signal conductors of a twinaxial electrical cable at one end of the electrical splitter conductors, and are configured to be placed in electrical communication with respective first and second electrical signal conductors of first and second coaxial electrical cables. Thus, the first and second coaxial electrical cables are placed in electrical communication with the first and second electrical signal conductors, respectively, of the twinaxial cable. The twinaxial cable is in electrical communication with an IC die package. The first and second coaxial electrical cables are configured to route electrical signals to a testing device that is configured to determine certain metrics of an IC chip of the die package.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2021Publication date: October 19, 2023Applicant: SAMTEC, INC.Inventors: Brandon Thomas GORE, Richard MELLITZ, Gauss YANG, Kelly GARRISON, Norman S.

Patent number: 11652325Abstract: A cable connector includes a cable including a center conductor and a housing supporting a portion of the center conductor. An imaginary line divides a cross-section of the center conductor into two semicircles, and when the cable connector is mated with a mating connector, only one of the two semicircles is directly connected with a corresponding contact of the mating connector.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2022Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: SAMTEC, INC.Inventors: John A. Mongold, Jonathan E. Buck, Jignesh H. Shah, Chadrick P. Faith, Randall E. Musser, Jean Karlo Williams Barnet, Norman S. McMorrow

Patent number: 7002428Abstract: Multilayer circuit boards include compensator networks configured in one or more conductor layers. A signal trace is configured in one or more layers to transmit an electrical signal from an input to an output and the compensator network is situated at at least one location on the trace to provide compensation for frequency dependent signal propagation losses or distortions such as those due to dielectric loss. In one example, the compensator includes a high frequency path provided by a series capacitance formed by conductor layers that include interleaved digits. Transmitters that include such compensators provide predistorted signals that can be matched or otherwise associated with anticipated propagation losses and distortions. Methods of evaluating dielectric losses include propagating electrical signals through such compensators and along a trace defined with respect to a dielectric under test and determining an associated compensation.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2003Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: Stilwell Baker, Inc. and SiQual, Inc.Inventors: Norman S. McMorrow, Robert C. Hinz, Jr.
