Patent ID: 8508949

Claim:
An (radio frequency) RF micro-contact including an RF connection wherein said RF connection is to be run through, or make contact in, a housing aperture or in a passage, at a transition from a first type of transmission line electrical connector configuration on a first printed circuit board to a second type of transmission line electrical connector configuration on a second printed circuit board, wherein said RF connection comprises at least said two printed circuit boards arranged approximately in a plane, connected together by at least one planar contact pin belonging to one of said at least two printed circuit boards and at least one planar socket belonging to the other of said at least two printed circuit boards, wherein said contact pin and said socket are fastened to each associated printed circuit board by respective bases; the socket comprises a U-shaped component having two resilient contacting arms for receiving a corresponding contact pin, whereas the two resilient arms define a plane which is parallel to the plane said two printed circuit boards are arranged in, which serves to compensate for tolerances in a first direction being perpendicular to the plane said printed circuit boards are arranged in; and the base of each contact pin or each planar socket includes, at or close to a point where fastened to the printed circuit board, an intended bend-point, which serves to compensate for tolerances in a second direction being parallel to the plane the printed circuit boards are arranged in, wherein the bend-point is formed by a weakened cross-section of said base.
