Abstract
A method includes attaching a micro-coaxial wire to electrical contacts in a substrate, the micro-coaxial wire including a core wire, a bonded section, and a shield layer, the electrical contacts including a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact. Attaching the micro-coaxial wire to the electrical contacts includes connecting a core wire of the micro-coaxial wire to the first electrical contact including forming a bonded section by bonding the core wire to the first electrical contact, and then depositing solder onto the bonded section of the core wire.
