Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 6:
7. A test point adapter for providing improved RF shielding comprising: a body portion having a longitudinal axis; a cap portion configured to be slidingly coupled with the body portion; wherein the body portion includes a conductive sleeve portion and a center conductor portion extending along the longitudinal axis, an electrically conductive contact portion configured to extend along the longitudinal axis and to make electrical contact with the center conductor portion, and a gripping portion configured to be electrically coupled with the electrically conductive contact portion; wherein the cap portion includes a sleeve portion configured to matingly engage an outer surface portion at an end of the conductive sleeve portion and a terminator portion configured to be aligned with and received by the gripping portion; wherein the gripping portion is configured to electrically couple the terminator portion with the electrically conductive contact-portion; wherein the sleeve portion of the cap portion is configured to provide a biasing force against the conductive sleeve portion to provide electrical grounding between the cap portion and the conductive sleeve portion; and wherein the cap portion is configured to include a conical contact surface portion that is configured to engage a conical contact surface portion of the conductive sleeve portion when the cap portion is slidingly coupled with the conductive sleeve portion to enhance an engagement interface between the cap portion and the conductive sleeve portion so as to prevent an RF signal from escaping at the interface.
