Abstract

A compressible domed contact used as a portion of socket contact within an electrical socket to eliminate co-planarity issues and to achieve an effective electrical connection between the electrical socket and a microelectronic device. The compressible domed contact may be made of resilient material such that it will substantially return to its original shape after being compressed.
