Claim:
A connector, comprising: a nest spacer element having a first substantially planar surface, a second substantially planar surface, and a recessed portion contiguous said first and second substantially planar surfaces operable to accommodate an interconnect; a substantially planar first board having a first outer surface and a first inner surface coupled to the first substantially planar surface of said nest spacer element; a substantially planar second board having a second outer surface and a second inner surface coupled to the second substantially planar surface of said nest spacer element, with at least one of said first and second boards having a plurality of connector signal traces arranged along one or more of corresponding said inner and outer surfaces; and a plurality of bumpletts located on one of more of said first board and said second board; wherein insertion of the interconnect into said recessed portion of said nest spacer element produces a camming force between the connector and the interconnect caused by said plurality of bumpletts acting on the interconnect.
