Abstract

A connector includes a flexible connector having a first plurality of solder bumps arranged in a first pattern, and a base connector having a second plurality of solder bumps arranged in a second pattern concentric with and of a different size than the first pattern. A method of interconnecting a flexible connector to a base connector includes providing the flexible connector with a first plurality of solder bumps arranged in a first pattern, and providing the base connector with a second plurality of solder bumps arranged in a second pattern. The flexible and base connectors are aligned by aligning the first and second pluralities of solder bumps.
