Abstract:
An interposer comprising:a substrate having first and second opposed sides with a first set of terminals on the first side and a second set of terminals on the second side;a first set of resilient contact structures, each having a portion connected to a respective one of the terminals of the first set of terminals, a contact region distant from the substrate, and an elongate section extending from the portion to the contact region, the elongate section resiliently bending upon depression of the contact region towards the substrate, wherein the contact regions of two adjacent resilient contact structures are spaced differently than the terminals of the adjacent resilient contact structures and wherein respective ones of the second set of terminals are coupled to corresponding ones of the first set of terminals; anda second set of resilient contact structures, each having a portion attached to a respective one of the terminals of the second set of terminals, a contact region distant from the substrate, and an elongate section extending from the portion to the contact region, the elongate section resiliently bending upon depression of the contact region towards the substrate.
