An interconnection system comprising two coaxial cables ( â) connected together by matable connector halves ( ) is disclosed. A first half of the matable connector halves ( ) is a male connector half formed of a first insulating housing ( ) in which is disposed at least one conductive pin ( ) which is electrically connected to the center conductor ( ) of one of the two coaxial cables ( â). The conductive pin ( ) is at least partly captivated by a first dielectric bead ( ) within a first connector shield ( ). The first connector shield ( ) is electrically connected with the cable outer shield ( ) of the same one of the two coaxial cables ( ). A second half of the matable connector halves ( ) is a female connector half formed of a second insulating housing ( ) in which is disposed at least one conductive receptacle ( ) which is electrically connected to the cable center conductor ( â) of the other one of the two coaxial cables ( â) and is at least partly captivated by a second dielectric bead ( ) within a second connector shield ( ). The second connector shield ( ) is electrically connected with the cable outer shield ( â) of the other one of the two coaxial cables ( â). The conductive receptacle ( ) is dimensioned to accept the conductive pin ( ) and the second insulating housing ( ) with second dielectric bead ( ) is dimensioned to accept the first insulating housing ( ) with the first dielectric bead ( ).

A spring loaded, high frequency, controlled impedance, coaxial probe assembly located within an insulated or conductive housing. A high frequency coaxial probe assembly consisting of a central contact which is fixed or axially floating within a controlled impedance connector body or assembly. A flexible, elastically de-formable, fixed or field replaceable and detachable, ground contact, snapped on and retained in place upon the controlled impedance connector body or assembly creating a fixed or axially floating reference plane or dimension from which the head of the probe contact will protrude through the controlled impedance connector body. The individual, high frequency, controlled impedance, coaxial probe assemblies are spring loaded to provide continuous axial signal contact, when deployed to a planar device such as a DUT (Device Under Test) board. The flexible, elastically de-formable, fixed or field replaceable and detachable, ground contact(s) provide a resilient and continuous wiping action. This wiping action removes oxides or material from the surface of the conductive elements of the planar device ground plane.

A spring probe assembly which contains spring probes and used for mating to various planar devices, such as a printed circuit board, via spring contact with interface areas on their surfaces. The assembly is comprised of a non-metallic, insulating material block which has been crafted to secure multiple, impedance matched, coaxial spring probe assemblies and ground spring pins A metallic clip is used to join the signal probe shield with the ground spring pin in the appropriate geometry, while isolating that signal probe shield and ground spring pin from all other signal probe shields and ground pins The pins of the signal probes make contact with the surfaces of various planar devices via back pressure applied to the pins.
