Abstract
A method and structure for improving signal integrity probing. A coaxial or a microcoaxial cable is threaded through an optional alignment substrate where the cable is used to support or align the cable or an array of cables. A conductive elastomer is placed on a cable or a microcoaxial cable to improve signal integrity probing.
Claims17
A method for improving signal integrity probing, the steps comprising:
- threading a coaxial or a microcoaxial cable through an optional alignment substrate wherein said substrate supports or aligns the cable or an array of cables;
- and
- placing at least one conductive elastomeric pin that is affixed onto an electrically conductive disc that is placed in fixed contact with at least one of a center conductive region of said cable or said microcoaxial cable to improve signal integrity probing.
An apparatus for improving signal integrity probing, comprising:
- a coaxial or a microcoaxial cable threaded through an optional alignment substrate wherein said substrate supports or aligns the cable or an array of cables;
- and a conductive elastomeric pin that is attached to an electrically conductive disc which is placed in fixed contact with a center conductor region of said cable or said microcoaxial cable to improve signal integrity probing.
