Patent ID: 7207806

Claim:
A connection assembly for providing an electrical connection from a coaxial cable to planar circuitry comprising: an innermost connector node, configured to connect electrically to an innermost conductor of a coaxial cable, having one opening that allows for the innermost conductor to pass through the one opening and having a first contact extending perpendicular to a center line of the coaxial cable; a braided connector node, configured to connect electrically to a braided conductor of the coaxial cable, having two openings that allow for portions of the coaxial cable to pass through the two openings and having a second contact extending perpendicular to the center line of the coaxial cable; and an electrically conductive connection module, removably connected to the innermost connector node and the braided connector node and configured to maintain an orientation of the innermost and braided connector nodes and the first and second contacts; wherein the first and second contacts can be connected to separate locations of a planar circuitry and provide separate electrical connections to the innermost conductor and the braided conductor of the coaxial cable.
