Abstract: A spring probe block assembly includes an insulative housing (52). A probe connector (60) having a signal probe, an insulative layer, and a conductive shell is positioned within the housing. At least one ground probe (58) is also positioned within the housing. The ground probe and the conductive shell of the probe connector are electrically connected by a grounding portion (56) . The grounding portion is configured to elastically deform the ground probe in such a manner as to create spring energy in the ground probe. The spring energy generates a normal force between the ground probe and the grounding portion which maintains the ground probe in its position. Also, a method for retaining a spring probe in a housing by elastically deforming the spring probe to maintain a spring force between the spring probe and the housing.

Abstract: A light having integrated light and thermal guides and separable electrical connectors. The light has a base for connection to a power supply, a light circuit electrically connected with solid state light sources such as LEDs, and a driver circuit for receiving power from the power supply and providing power to drive the light sources. A light guide is coupled to the light sources for receiving and distributing light from the light sources, and a thermal guide is integrated with the light guide for providing thermal conduction from the light source for cooling the light. The separable connectors include a first connector for providing an electrical connection between the driver circuit and light circuit, a second connector for providing an electrical connection between the power supply and driver circuit, and a third connector for providing a ground connection to the driver circuit.

Abstract: A probe block assembly includes a block and a cable terminated to a coaxial connector that is configured to electrically communicate with a plurality of probes inserted in the block. The coaxial connector includes a connector signal contact configured to separably connect to a first probe that is insertable into an aperture of the block and insulated from the block, and a resilient ground beam configured to commonly ground one or more second probes inserted in the block.

Abstract: An electrical connector system includes a carrier assembly and a header. The carrier assembly includes a plurality of shielded connectors and a coaxial cable terminated to each of the shielded connectors. The header includes opposed grounding plates each having ground tabs configured for attachment to a circuit board and a plurality of pins disposed between the opposed plates in a stripline configuration. The coaxial cables of the carrier assembly electrically communicate with the circuit board through a stripline configuration of pins in the header.

Abstract: An electrical termination device includes an electrically conductive shield element, an insulator disposed within the shield element, and one or more electrical contacts supported within and electrically isolated from the shield element by the insulator. The insulator includes one or more insulative spacer bars configured to guide the one or more electrical contacts during their insertion into the insulator. The one or more spacer bars may be configured to enable straight pull injection molding of the insulator. The insulator may be positioned away from the one or more electrical contacts along at least a major portion of the length of the one or more electrical contacts in an impedance controlling relationship. The electrical termination device can be included in an electrical connector.
