Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for pinless interconnect for twinaxial cables to an IC. This includes a socket coupled to an integrated circuit (IC), a port structure coupled to the socket, and a ground connector inserted into the port structure. It further includes a twinaxial cable including a pair of conductors inserted through the ground connector to establish an electrical connection between the twinaxial cable and the IC.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a socket coupled to an integrated circuit (IC);
- a port structure coupled to the socket;
- a ground connector inserted into the port structure;
- and
- a twinaxial cable comprising a pair of conductors inserted through the ground connector to establish an electrical connection between the twinaxial cable and the IC.
2 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- a port structure, wherein the port structure is configured to be coupled to a socket for an integrated circuit (IC);
- and
- a ground connector inserted into the port structure, wherein the ground connector comprises a receptacle configured to receive a twinaxial cable and one or more openings configured to allow a pair of conductors for the twinaxial cable to pass through the ground connector to establish an electrical connection for the twinaxial cable.
A method, comprising:
- inserting a ground connector into a port structure;
- inserting a twinaxial cable into the ground connector, wherein the twinaxial cable comprises a pair of conductors passing through the ground connector and the port structure;
- and
- coupling the pair of conductors to a socket for an integrated circuit using the port structure, wherein the coupled pair of conductors provides an electrical connection between the twinaxial cable and the IC.
