Abstract

A MEMS microconnector including a compliant handle and a deflectable connection member. The compliant handle is configured to frictionally engage a manipulation probe. The deflectable connection member includes a first end coupled to the handle and a second end configured to deflect and thereby engage a receptacle in response to disengagement of the manipulation probe from the handle.
