Claim 18:
19. A socket assembly comprising:
an electrical interconnect having an insulator having an upper surface and a lower surface, the insulator including apertures therethrough, the electrical interconnect including primary contacts received in corresponding apertures and a secondary contact received in the corresponding aperture, the primary contacts including primary conductive polymer columns having upper contact tips extending above the upper surface to distal ends and lower contact tips extending below the lower surface to distal ends for electrically interconnecting first and second electronic packages, respectively, the secondary contact including a secondary conductive polymer column having an upper contact tip extending above the upper surface to distal ends and a lower contact tip extending below the lower surface to distal ends opposite the upper contact tip, the upper and lower contact tips for electrically interconnecting the first and second electronic packages, respectively, wherein at least one of the secondary conductive polymer column forming a shield fence surrounding at least one of the primary conductive polymer columns both above the upper surface and below the lower surface to isolate the surrounded primary conductive polymer column from at least one other primary conductive polymer column.
