Abstract:
A connector (100) provides both fastener and RF interface functionality. The connector (100) is formed of a top circular disk (102) having a threaded lead (104) extending therefrom. A through-hole extends from the circular disk through the threaded lead (104). An insulator (110) extends within the through-hole from top circular disk (102) through the threaded lead (104). An electronic contact (106) within the insulator (110) extends from the top circular disk (102) through the threaded lead (104). The electronic contact (106) is exposed at one end on a top surface (108) of the top circular disk (102) and is also exposed at the through-hole of the threaded lead (104).
