Patent ID: 6967556

Claim:
A space transformer comprising: a ground conductor; a power conductor; one or more decoupling capacitors physically located between said ground conductor and said power conductor and electrically connected between a bottom surface of said ground conductor and a top surface of said power conductor, one or more ground pins fixed to and extending from said ground conductor to a top surface of said space transformer; one or more power pins fixed to and extending from said power conductor to said top surface of said space transformer; one or more signal wires extending from a bottom surface of said space transformer to said top surface of said space transformer wherein said ground conductor includes an inner region and an outer region, said inner region of said ground conductor having a first thickness less than a second thickness of said outer region of said ground conductor, said ground pins fixed to said inner region of said ground conductor; and wherein said power conductor includes an inner region and an outer region, said inner region of said power conductor having a third thickness less than a fourth thickness of said outer region of said power conductor, said power pins fixed to said inner region of said ground conductor.
