Abstract
A standoff device provides predetermined control of a standoff distance between electrical components mounted together with opposing conductive grid array patterns. In an embodiment, a predetermined electrical function is provided by the device to at least one of the electrical components. The standoff device comprises a plurality of rigid one-piece standoff pins which, in an embodiment, contains one or more stops which buttress against the electrical components to serve as a distancing control structure. In an embodiment, the standoff device is integral with one of the electrical components.
