    Abstract: A radio frequency coupler connector includes a housing having first and second housing portions. The first housing portion includes a first open-ended launcher operatively connected to a first connection terminal, and the second housing portion includes a second open-ended launcher operatively connected to a second connection terminal. When the first and second housing portions are assembled, the first and second open-ended launchers are overlapped and separated by a dielectric, thereby providing a non-contact connection by capacitive coupling.
