Abstract
Embodiments described herein relate to an apparatus that includes a dielectric puck with a height between a first surface and a second surface. In an embodiment, the apparatus further includes a pin that is inserted into a hole into the first surface of the dielectric puck, where the pin is electrically conductive. In an embodiment, the pin includes a first portion with a first width, and a second portion with a second width. In an embodiment, the second width is greater than the first width.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a dielectric puck with a height between a first surface and a second surface;
- and
- a pin inserted into a hole into the first surface of the dielectric puck, wherein the pin is electrically conductive, and wherein the pin comprises:
