Abstract:
1. A high density interconnection test connector for verification of integrated circuits comprising: a connecting plate for connecting to equipment to be tested; a plurality of conductive pins, each of said pins having an end portion having a rectilinear segment to contact an integrated circuit to be tested and other end portion having another rectilinear segment to contact said connecting plate, wherein each of said conductive pins includes a longitudinal component having a succession of at least three are-shaped sections, said arc-shaped sections being arranged in alternating directions and being movable by at least one degree of freedom in axial translation relative to said rectilinear segments of the pin and wherein said pins are comprised substantially of silicon; and a support plate for supporting said plurality of pins wherein said plurality of pins are inserted through said support plate; wherein a first one of said arc-shaped sections has a length of about 480 micrometers as measured from the beginning to the end of said first arc-shaped section, a second one of the said arc-shaped sections has a length of about 700 micrometers and a third one of said arc-shaped sections has a length of about 1000 micrometers.
