Abstract
A separable flat integrated circuit chip connector (22) includes a plurality of contact spring members (44) maintained in a planar array by a dielectric holder (54). The planar array of the contact members (44) on the connector (22) corresponds to the planar arrays of contact pads on the surfaces of the integrated circuit package (14) and the printed circuit board (10) to which it is to be connected. A connector fastening assembly (24, 26) clamps and holds the conncetor (22) between the integrated circuit package (14) and the printed circuit board (10) to provide separable electrical connections between corresponding contact pads.
