Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: providing a plurality of interposer conductive connectors linked together by a carrier frame; placing the plurality of linked interposer conductive connectors to contact a plurality of electrical contacts on a first multi-contact component; unlinking the plurality of interposer conductive connectors completely from the carrier frame and, wherein forming the plurality of linked interposer conductive connectors includes linking the plurality of interposer conductive connectors to the carrier frame through a plurality of breakaway necks, wherein each of the breakaway necks has breakaway feature to facilitate separation of the interposer conductive connectors from the carrier frame, the breakaway features being portions of the breakaway necks having tapered diameters relative to other portions of the breakaway necks, notches in the breakaway necks or portions of the breakaway necks made of material or materials being structurally weaker than that making up the carrier frame and/or the linked interposer conductive connectors.
