Abstract
Disclosed are systems, devices, apparatus, tools, coaxial cables, materials, methods, and other implementations that include a method comprising controllably stripping, through one or more applications of energy directed at a micro coaxial cable, a conductive shield layer of the micro coaxial cable to expose a portion of a core conductive wire of the micro coaxial wire, and controllably deforming the exposed portion of the core conductive wire of the micro coaxial wire through the one or more applications of energy.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- controllably stripping, through one or more applications of energy directed at a micro coaxial cable, a conductive shield layer of the micro coaxial cable to expose a portion of a core conductive wire of the micro coaxial wire;
- and
- controllably deforming the exposed portion of the core conductive wire of the micro coaxial wire through the one or more applications of energy.
A micro coaxial cable comprising:
- a conductive shield layer structured so that, upon one or more applications of energy directed at the micro coaxial cable, at least a portion of the conductive shield layer is stripped;
- and
- a core conductive wire, disposed proximate the conductive shield layer, structured so that a portion of a region of the core conductive wire is exposed when the at least the portion of the conductive shield layer is stripped, and is subsequently deformed as a result of at least one of the one or more applications of energy directed at the micro coaxial cable.
A system comprising:
- a micro coaxial cable comprising a core conductive wire and a conductive shield layer;
- and
- an energy application and bonding device configured to:
- controllably strip, through one or more applications of energy directed at the micro coaxial cable, the conductive shield layer of the micro coaxial cable to expose a portion of the core conductive wire of the micro coaxial wire;
- and
- controllably deform the exposed portion of the core conductive wire of the micro coaxial wire through the one or more applications of energy.
A method comprising:
- controllably stripping, through one or more applications of energy directed at a micro coaxial cable, a conductive shield layer of the micro coaxial cable to expose a portion of a core conductive wire of the micro coaxial wire;
- and
- bonding a stripped portion of the stripped conductive shield layer and the exposed portion of the core conductive wire to respective electrical connection points near the micro coaxial cable.
