<p>Apparatus for improving the performance of a controlled impedance contactor, wherein an extended core connector (ECC) is incorporated within the housing of the contactor. The introduction of an ECC within the impedance controlled contactor offers several advantages, including: a 50 ohm signal path is provided from the signal source (tester) all the way to the contact with a minimum of transitions, and, no routing substrate is required. That is, the impedance controlled contactor can be mounted on a conventional load board (DUT board, BID, etc.) without compromise of RF fidelity. <IMAGE></p> |
