Abstract:
1. A method for assembling an interposer, comprising the steps of: providing an electrically non-conductive carrier having a first surface and a second surface, a plurality of apertures extending from the first surface to the second surface, and a stop member projecting from the first surface; providing an electrically non-conductive first retention member having a plurality of orifices each positioned for registration with a corresponding one of the apertures of the carrier, wherein each orifice of the first retention member has a width smaller than that of the corresponding aperture of the carrier; aligning the first retention member over the first surface of the carrier so that the orifices of the first retention member are positioned above the apertures of the carrier; inserting the stop member of the carrier through a hole in the first retention member; attaching the first retention member to the first surface of the carrier after the step of aligning the first retention member over the first surface of the carrier; inserting resilient wire bundles into the apertures of the carrier.
