International Classification:

H01R 13648

US Classification:

439608, 439108

Abstract:

In one embodiment of the invention, there is disclosed an electrical connector connectable to a printed circuit board on one end, which includes an insulative housing and a plurality of insulative posts disposed in the insulative housing, with the insulative posts arranged in at least one row. Each of the insulative posts has a first side and a second side, and the insulative posts extend in a direction away from the printed circuit board. A plurality of signal conductors are provided, with each signal conductor having a first contact end connectable to the printed circuit board, a second contact end, and an intermediate portion therebetween that is disposed in the insulative housing, wherein the signal conductors are disposed along the first side of the insulative posts. A plurality of ground conductors are provided, with each ground conductor having a first contact end connectable to the printed circuit board, a second contact end, and an intermediate portion therebetween that is disposed in the insulative housing, wherein the ground conductors are disposed along the second side of the insulative posts such that the signal conductors and the ground conductors are electrically isolated from one another.

Abstract:

A system for performing a medical procedure on a patient includes an articulating probe assembly and at least one tool. The articulating probe assembly comprises an inner probe comprising multiple articulating inner links, an outer probe surrounding the inner probe and comprising multiple articulating outer links, and at least two working channels that exit a distal portion of the probe assembly. The at least one tool is configured to translate through one of the at least two working channels. A robotic stand positions the articulating probe relative to the patient.
