Abstract: Proposed is a method for manufacturing a coaxial impedance-matched test socket having a socket body with a structure similar to a system of redistributed coaxial cable inserts, where the core of each insert comprises a pogo pin, a metal layer that surrounds the pogo pin functions as a shielding element of the core, and an air gap and an insulation filling between the pogo pin and the shielding metal part function as an isolator. A unique feature of the method consists of employing standard and commercially available parts the use of which significantly decreases the number of manufacturing steps and simplifies the manufacturing process. In addition, the process involves operations that provide simultaneous multiposition treatment which accelerates production.

Abstract: A coaxial impedance-matched test socket having a socket body with a structure similar to a system of redistributed coaxial cable inserts, where the core of each insert comprises a pogo pin, a metal layer that surrounds the pogo pin functions as a shielding element of the core, and an air gap and an insulation filling between the pogo pin and the shielding metal part function as an isolator. For higher system efficiency in matching impedances between the pogo pins and the test object, the insulation fillings, which are placed between the outer surfaces of the control pogo pins and the inner surfaces of the metal layers, are made from a dielectric material of low dielectric permittivity. By selecting specific dielectric materials with the required dielectric parameters, full matching can be provided.
