Abstract

A circuit board is provided which has contacts on the surface arrayed to engage contact pads on a chip carrier bounded by a grid. A plurality of primary through holes are provided in the circuit board location within the grid and electrically connected to chip contact pads thereabove. A plurality of secondary through holes are provided which are located outside the grid and electrically connected to the inside of the chip contact pads. The spacing of the contacts on top of the board is less than the spacing of the contacts on the bottom.
