ABSTRACT:
An RF connector includes an electrical insulator having an aperture and a conductive contact disposed within the aperture and having at least one compliant, compressible end. The insulator is disposed in an aperture of a conductive support plate. When an RF element is secured to the support plate in use, the compliant end of the conductive contact is compressed against a conductive pad of the RF element. In one embodiment, the RF connector includes a compressible, conductive annular ring disposed concentrically around the compliant end of the conductive contact and adapted for being compressed against a ground pad of the RF element in use in order to effect a coaxial RF interconnection. The conductive contact may take various forms, such as a watch band pin, a Fuzz Button.RTM. or a bellows arrangement. The RF connector may include RF circuitry for interconnection to the RF element and/or may interconnect the RF element to a second RF element.
