Abstract
An arrangement for interconnecting RF ports on mutually parallel printed-circuit boards includes an arrangement of a ladder-shaped conductive foil or thin plate rolled to make a cylindrical inner conductor, and another arrangement of a ladder-shaped conductive foil rolled to make an outer conductor, with the ladder “rungs” being parallel to the axis of the interconnection. The rungs are long slender columns, which deflect laterally or “bulge” in response to axial forces. The inner and outer conductors are spaced apart by a dielectric solid material, preferably elastomeric.
