ABSTRACT:
An integrated DC/RF stripline flexprint module edge connector comprises a stripline RF transmission line that operates at microwave frequencies. The connector mates and clamps DC and signal conductors in a flat flexible circuit and an RF conductor located in an RF signal stripline with a matching pattern of conductors on an edge of a module mating plug. The Rf conductor is sandwiched between two equally spaced ground planes and forms a lapjoint connection with the mating plug. The engagement of the connector to the edge of the mating plug is accomplished by a zero inserting force clamp. The clamp secures the connector comprising the DC and signal conductors and the more rigid RF signal stripline adjacent to the flexprint.
