Patent ID: 7728611

Claim:
An interconnect assembly electrically connecting two circuit members, which include respective arrays of electrical contacts for engagement with the interconnect assembly, the interconnect assembly comprising: a plurality of electrical conductors arranged in a spaced arrangement substantially corresponding to a spaced arrangement for the respective arrays of electrical contacts to provide contact between the conductors and the contact arrays, wherein the plurality of electrical conductors comprises; a first electrical conductor, the first electrical conductor being a stamped collet spring pin assembly, a second electrical conductor, the second electrical conductor being a direct contact collet spring assembly, and a third electrical conductor, the third electrical conductor being a direct contact stamped collet spring assembly; and a carrier including: a socket member including a plurality of apertures each receiving an upper portion of one of the plurality of conductors wherein the socket member includes a first aperture that has a diameter larger than an outer diameter of a housing of the second conductor so that an annular gap is defined between the second conductor and the first aperture of the socket member; and a retainer including a plurality of apertures each receiving a lower portion of one of the plurality of conductors, wherein the respective apertures are aligned axially with each other.
