The end contact (5a, 6a) and the contact point each form a spring pressure contact, and the end contact (5a, 6a) of the contact spring wire (5, 6) is configured as a bracket with an outer contact surface and at least one cutting edge arranged proximate the contact surface, which is engaged with the contact point.

A wafer test device and methods of assembling a wafer test device involve a first laminate structure, and a second laminate structure arranged to interface with a microcircuit of the wafer. The wafer test device includes a compliant layer between the first laminate structure and the second laminate structure. The compliant layer includes an elastomer that exhibits compliance within a limited range of movement.

A cable includes an electrical connector at one end and a sensor at the other end. The connector includes a terminal module having a plurality of contacts embedded within an insulator wherein each contact has a resilient contacting section exposed upon to an exterior in a first vertical direction, and a soldering section exposed in a second vertical direction to be connected to the corresponding wires of the cable and selectively further to a resistor. The sensor includes a case enclosing an LED (Light Emitting Diode) and a PD (Photo Diode both of which are respectively connected to the corresponding contacts respectively soldered to the corresponding wires.

A connector assembly that may include a connector portion and an adapter portion that are configured to be coupled to each other. The connector and adapter portions may include first and second conductor portions that are configured to be electrically connected to each other. The first and second conductor portions each may include perimeter end portions that are configured to contact each other when the connector portion and the adapter portion are coupled to each other. One of either the first conductor portion or the second conductor portions may include a perimeter end portion and a radially inward extending end portion that may be configured to extend radially inward from the perimeter end portion of the one conductor and may be axially spaced apart in an axial direction from an inward extremity end portion of the other conductor when the connector portion and the adapter portion are coupled to each other. The perimeter end portions of the first and second conductor portions may be configured to maintain electrical contact between the first and second conductor portions so as to improve signal propagation reliability or continuity between the connector and the adapter during operation of the connector assembly.
