Abstract:
A method of controlling induced relative motion between an electronic module and an interposer in an electronic assembly, comprisingproviding a printed circuit board including a plurality of electrical contact pads on one surface; providing a module including a bottom surface having a plurality of contact sites positionally corresponding to at least some of the contact pads on said printed circuit board, said module including four edges; placing the interposer member between said printed circuit board and said module, said interposer including a pair of generally planar surfaces, raised edges extending at right angles to the planar surface of the interposer, and surrounding the four edges of the module, and a plurality of compressible spring elements, each of which electrically couples one of said electrical contact pads on said printed circuit board to a corresponding contact site on the bottom surface of said module, and providing the interposer with two contiguous edges having edge restraints positioned to contact two edges of the module to align the contact sites of the module with the contact pads of the printed circuit board.
