Abstract:
1. An electronic module-to-module interconnecting structure comprising: a first module and a second module, each having a dielectric substrate having an first surface and a second surface; a copper trace deposited on the second surface of the substrate, the copper trace having proximal and distal ends; a copper pad, disposed on the first surface of the substrate directly upon the proximal end of the trace; a first copper plate-up area deposited on the pad; a second copper plate-up area deposited on the distal end of the trace; a slot passing through the substrate, wherein the middle of the slot is disposed in closely-spaced proximity to the distal end of the trace to form a lever arm, and wherein the slot semi-circumscribes the pad and extends on both sides of the trace toward the distal end of the trace; and means for placing the copper pad in electric communication with the copper trace; the first module and the second module being placed in an orientation such that opposing forces placed upon each lever arm at the distal end results in opposing deflections of the respective lever arms towards one another in cantilever fashion to drive the first copper plate-up area on the proximate end of the lever arm of the of the first module into electrical contact with the first copper plate up area on the proximate end of the second module.
