  • Patent number: 6292073
    Abstract: A spring acts as a central conductor of a fifty ohm RF coax connector, while an aluminum backing of a microstrip module has a hole coaxially surrounding the spring. The resulting annular hole in the aluminum backing represents the outer coax conductor and the initial portion of a stripline circuit board. The machining of the aluminum backing creates a continuous ground path through the transition, thereby reducing the effects of radiation loss, and the need is fulfilled for a low loss, broadband RF solderless interconnect for solid-state systems requiring the quick removal and replacement of microstrip or stripline circuits.
