Abstract:
1. A method of making a compliant interconnect assembly, the method comprising the steps of: positioning a plurality of first electrical traces against the first major surface of a first dielectric layer, the first electrical traces comprising a plurality of conductive compliant members comprising a plurality of first distal ends, a plurality of the first distal ends aligned with a plurality of openings in the first dielectric layer; positioning a first major surface of a second dielectric layer against a portion of at least one of the first electric traces or the first major surface of the first dielectric layer, the second dielectric layer having a plurality of openings; compressively and releasably engaging the first distal ends of the conductive compliant members with contact pads on a first circuit member such that the first distal ends are in direct physical and electrical contact with the contact pads; positioning a plurality of second conductive interfaces separate from the first distal ends of the first electrical traces in the plurality of openings in the second dielectric layer to electrically couple with a plurality of the first electric traces; and electrically coupling the second conductive interfaces to a second circuit member.
