Abstract:
A printed circuit board assembly, comprising:a printed circuit board substrate;a first land grid array of conductive pads disposed on a first side of said printed circuit board substrate;a first metallized particle interconnect array having a plurality of conductive column conductors aligned so that said column conductors are in conductive contact with said conductive pads of said first land grid array;a first optics device having an integrated heat sink element disposed on a first side thereof and a second land grid array of conductive pads disposed on a second side of said first optics device opposite said first side of said first optics device;a first fiber optic connector disposed in said first optics device, said first fiber optic connector for receiving a fiber optic cable; andat least one connector attaching said first optics device, said connector having an element passing through a hole in said integrated heat sink element of said first optics device and through said printed circuit board substrate to exert a compressive force urging said first optics device against said printed circuit board substrate.
