Abstract:
1. An interconnect device comprising: a contact assembly having a carrier holding an array of conductors, each of the conductors having opposite first and second ends configured to engage corresponding first and second electrical components, the conductors defining conductive paths between the first and second ends to electrically interconnect the first and second electrical components; and a first corner frame and a second corner frame separate and discrete from the first corner frame, the first and second corner frames being separately mounted to the carrier, the first and second corner frames defining a receiving space therebetween configured to receive the first electrical component therein, each of the first and second corner frames includes a first arm and a second arm, the first and second arms being metal and integrally formed, the first and second arms extending from proximal ends to distal ends, the first and second arms of the first corner frame joined at the proximal ends thereof at a flexible hinge of the first corner frame, the first and second arms of the second corner frame joined at the proximal ends thereof at a flexible hinge of the second corner frame, the first and second arms having metal spring fingers extending to the distal ends of the respective arms and extending along different sides of the receiving space, the spring fingers being configured to engage different side edges of the first electrical component to locate the first electrical component in the receiving space, the spring fingers being deflectable and being configured to be spring biased against corresponding side edges of the first electrical component.
