Abstract:
A surface mount electrical interconnect adapted to provide an interface between solder balls on a BGA device and a PCB. A socket substrate is provided with a first surface, a second surface, and a plurality of openings sized and configured to receive the solder balls on the BGA device. A plurality of electrically conductive contact tabs are attached to the socket substrate so that contact tips on the contact tabs extend into the openings. The contact tips electrically couple with the BGA device when the solder balls are positioned in the openings. Vias electrically couple the contact tabs to contact pads located proximate the second surface of the socket substrate. Solder balls are bonded to the contact pads to electrically and mechanically couple the electrical interconnect to the PCB.

Abstract:
An electrical interconnect for providing a temporary interconnect between terminals on an IC device and contact pads on a printed circuit board (PCB). The electrical interconnect includes a substrate with a first surface having a plurality of openings arranged to correspond to the terminals on the IC device. A compliant material is located in the openings. A plurality of conductive traces extend along the first surface of the substrate and onto the compliant material. The compliant material provides a biasing force that resists flexure of the conductive traces into the openings. Conductive structures are electrically coupled to the conductive traces over the openings. The conductive structures are adapted to enhance electrical coupling with the terminals on the IC device. Vias electrically extending through the substrate couple the conductive traces to PCB terminals located proximate a second surface of the substrate.
