Abstract:
An electronic assembly comprising:a printed circuit board having a surface with a plurality of electrical contact pads thereon; an electronic module including a top surface, a bottom surface, and edge surfaces joining the top and bottom surfaces, said bottom surface having a plurality of contact sites corresponding in location and number to at least some of the contact pads on said printed circuit board; an interposer positioned between said printed circuit board and said module, said interposer comprising a pair of surfaces, a plurality of compressible spring elements, each spring element adapted to electrically couple one of said electrical contact pads on said printed circuit board to a respective one of said contact sites on the bottom surface of said module; the interposer including restraints extending toward two edge surfaces of the module and springs suspending the module between two other edge surfaces and the interposer, the restraints serving to control relative sliding motion between the interposer and the module and to align the contact sites on the module with the contact pads on the printed circuit board; and spacedly positioned stop members projecting from said interposer toward said module such that said module engages said stop members, thereby limiting the relative rocking motion between said module and said interposer.
