Abstract:
1. A circuit board comprising: a substrate having a first side, an opposing second side and a first aperture formed through the substrate and extending from the first side to the second side; first solder applied to the first side of the substrate adjacent to the first aperture; a first coupler engaging the first side of the circuit board and being secured thereto by the first solder, the first coupler having a first conductive lead portion and a first ductile conductive tube portion extending from the first conductive lead portion, at least a portion of the first coupler overlying the first aperture; and a first transmission line having a first conductor and heat sensitive dielectric engaged about at least a portion thereof, an extremity of the first conductor being engaged in crimped retention within the first ductile conductive tube portion such that the heat sensitive dielectric is not engaged in crimped retention by the first coupler.
