Abstract: A strip line component suitable for transporting radio frequency signals from point to point in an electronic assembly, including a first conductive element (13) having a first and a second termination contact (23 and 33), disposed in a planar fashion with a first or length dimension (15) and a second or width dimension (27), a dielectric material (17) suitable as a printed circuit board substrate and having a first planar surface (19), disposed around the first conductive element along the length dimension, where the first termination contact is preferably disposed on the first planar surface, and a second conductive element (21) having a plurality of contacts some of which are preferably on the first planar surface, disposed adjacent to and enclosing the dielectric material along the length dimension and spaced from the first conductive element by a third or height dimension (29) that is perpendicular to the width dimension.
