Abstract
A scalable, low cost, reliable, compliant, low profile, low insertion force, high-density, separable and reconnectable connector for high speed, high performance electronic circuitry and semiconductors. The electrical connector can be used to make, for example, electrical connections from components such as a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) to another PCB, MPU, NPU, or other semiconductor device. A normalized working range for an array of elastic contacts of the interposer can be about 0.2 to 1.0. A reversible normalized working range is maintained through multiple connections and reconnections using a highly elastic material for the contact arms. In one aspect, a first electrical component having a first array pitch can be connected to a second electrical component having a second array pitch.
