Abstract
The present invention relates to radio frequency and microwave connectors, and more particularly to grounding methods for printed wiring board edge-launch connectors. The grounding method comprises conducting tabs secured to a PWB and to an attached connector frame holding coaxial connectors. The conducting tabs thus provide a ground connection between the connector frame and one or more ground conductors on the PWB.
