Patent ID: 7118382

Claim:
An adapter for coupling a printed circuit board having a signal trace and ground, to a coaxial connector, the adapter comprising: a housing including a groove sized to receive an edge of the printed circuit board, wherein the housing is constructed of a non-conductive material; a conductive cylindrical connector positioned at least partially within the housing, the cylindrical connector having a longitudinal axis; a flexible conductive clip positioned within the housing arranged to engage and electrically connect the conductive cylindrical connector with the ground of the printed circuit board; a contact positioned along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical connector and electrically isolated from the cylindrical connector, the contact having a proximal portion and a distal portion, wherein the distal portion is configured to mate with the coaxial connector and the proximal portion is positioned within the housing and constructed to slide over the signal trace on the printed circuit board and electrically couple the signal trace to the contact.
