Abstract

An interconnect system is provided in which one or more laminated modules embodying electrical devices can be stacked in a three dimensional configuration upon a printed circuit board. One or more electrical devices is surface mounted to a recessed area at the upper surface of each laminated module, and each laminated module includes male pins and female sockets. The male pins can be releasibly engaged within sockets upon a printed circuit board. Additionally, the male pins of one laminated module can be engaged within female sockets of another laminated module in building-block fashion. Conductive paths are formed entirely through the laminated module between respective sockets and pins. The conductive paths are arranged in a less dense fashion than bond locations adjacent each electrical device. The bond locations are therefore offset from conductive paths to provide fan-out and redistribution features.
