Abstract:
A device for connecting a semiconductor package to a circuit board, comprising:a tape having an array of holes formed therein; a plurality of contacts, each contact including at least a first S-shaped section passing through a corresponding hole on the tape and a second S-shaped section passing through the corresponding hole on the tape, the first S-shaped section having a first end portion and a second end portion, the second S-shaped section having a first end portion and a second end portion, each first S-shaped section passing through the corresponding hole such that each first end portion is substantially adjacent the semiconductor package and each second end portion is substantially adjacent the circuit board, each second S-shaped section passing through the corresponding hole such that each first end portion is substantially adjacent the semiconductor package and each second end portion is substantially adjacent the circuit board, wherein for each of the contacts, each first S-shaped section and each second S-shaped section are arranged substantially perpendicular to each other and substantially perpendicular to a main surface of said tape such that each first end portion is on one side of said main surface and each second end portion is on another side of said main surface; and a fastening device for attaching said tape to one of said semiconductor package and said circuit board.
