Test fixture for observing current flow through a set of resistors

A test fixture comprising:

• a coaxial connector having a first terminal that is connected to a center pin of the coaxial connector;
• a baseplate comprising:
• an electrically-conductive mounting rod extending from a bottom surface of the baseplate;
• a first metallic zone located on a top surface of the baseplate;
• a plated-through orifice extending from the first metallic zone and into a portion of the electrically-conductive mounting rod, the plated-through orifice configured to accommodate a press-fit insertion of the first terminal of the coaxial connector and provide electrical conductivity between the first terminal of the coaxial connector, the first metallic zone, and the electrically-conductive mounting rod;
• an electrically-conductive casing comprising:
• a top surface of the electrically-conductive casing configured for mounting the coaxial connector;
• a central opening through which extends one or more terminals of the coaxial connector that is mounted upon the top surface of the electrically-conductive casing, the one or more terminals of the coaxial connector including the first terminal that is connected to the center pin of the coaxial connector;
• and
• a rim portion having a bottom edge that is substantially aligned with the bottom surface of the baseplate, the rim portion electrically connected to a cylindrical body portion of the coaxial connector through the electrically-conductive casing;
• and
• a set of resistors, a first planar terminal of each respective resistor in the set of resistors placed in contact with the first metallic zone located on the top surface of the baseplate and a second planar terminal of each respective resistor in the set of resistors placed in contact with an inner surface of the electrically-conductive casing when the baseplate is encased by the electrically-conductive casing.
