Abstract:
An apparatus includes a plurality of contact elements to provide electrical continuity between an integrated circuit and an electronic subassembly, wherein a contact element includes a spring element and a separate lead element, wherein the spring element is arranged to be substantially vertically slidable over at least a portion of the lead element in response to a force applied to the contact element.
Abstract:
An electric device and method of fabrication of that electric device is disclosed. The electric device includes one or more electrical devices attached to a substrate. The electric device further includes one or more grounding pads attached to the substrate. The electric device further includes a perforated conductive material placed on the substrate. The electric device further includes a molding compound deposited to cover the perforated conductive material, the one or more devices, and the one or more grounding pads.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit that includes a substrate having a shape memory material (SMM), the SMM is in a first deformed state and has a first crystallography structure and a first configuration, the SMM is able to be deformed from a first configuration to a second configuration, the SMM changes to a second crystallography structure and deforms back to the first configuration upon receiving energy, the SMM returns to the first crystallography structure upon receiving a different amount of energy; and an electronic component attached to substrate. In other forms, the SMM is in a first deformed state and has a first polymeric conformation and a first configuration, the SMM changes from a first polymeric conformation to a second polymeric conformation and be deformed from a first configuration to a second configuration, the SMM changes returns to the first polymeric conformation and deforms back to the first configuration upon receiving energy.
Abstract:
Some forms relate to an electronic assembly that includes a plurality of electronic package. The electronic assembly includes a frame and a first electronic package mounted on the frame. The first electronic package includes a first pin grid array. The electronic assembly further includes a second electronic package mounted on the frame. The second electronic package includes a second pin grid array. The electronic assembly further includes an actuation mechanism on the frame. The actuation mechanism is configured to move the first electronic package and the second electronic package relative to the frame during operation of the actuation mechanism.

Abstract:
Connectors and methods to couple packages and dies are shown. Selected examples include plugs and receptacles having two or more terraces with contacts provided along the terraces. Examples of connectors and methods include configurations where the connector is usable with a package including a die coupled along a substrate. In selected examples a heat sink is coupled over the die, and a package includes a side access port between the heat sink and the substrate configured to receive the connector, such as one or more of a plug or receptacle through the side access port.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates generally to a connector assembly. In various examples, first conductive members are secured with respect to one another and form a first row and second conductive members are secured with respect to one another, a first subset of the second conductive members forming a second row and a second subset of the second conductive members forming a third row, the second and third rows being parallel and stacked with respect to one another and the second and third rows being orthogonal to the first row. Individual ones of the first and second conductive members are arranged to be coupled at a first end to a corresponding one of contacts. Ones of the first conductive members are arranged to be coupled to a corresponding individual one of the second conductive members proximate a second end of each of the first and second conductive members.
Abstract:
An apparatus for coupling an integrated circuit to other electronics can include a housing having an exterior and an interior, the exterior having an exterior bottom surface, the interior defined by an interior bottom surface opposite the exterior bottom surface, and at least one sidewall extending away from the interior bottom surface to define an interior shape that is sized to receive the integrated circuit, with the integrated circuit disposed against the interior bottom surface and the at least one sidewall. The example can include a plurality of exterior contacts exposed along the exterior bottom surface in an exterior contact pattern that is generally circular in shape.
