Abstract

A testing device such as a network analyzer is joined to a test unit, such as a circulator, by an electrical precision test connector 1 having an electrical conductor 2 with conductive end parts 34 and 40, a hollow, bipartite shell 3 and a dielectric insert 4 securing the conductor 2 in place, the electrical conductor 2 comprising a flexible, slotted contact end portion 34 with flat, opposing contact surfaces 36 and 37 with the slotted end portion being pinched 38 for a slideable, clamping engagement, above and below, with an inserted tab connector and the hollow, bipartite shell 3 having an end contact surface 24 and being spring biased at 45 to provide complete electrical contact with a corresponding portion of the test unit 60 during connection.
