Patent ID: 7121839

Claim:
A compliant interconnect assembly adapted to electrically couple a first circuit member to a second circuit member, the compliant interconnect assembly comprising: a first dielectric layer having a first major surface and a plurality of openings; a plurality of first electrical traces positioned against the first major surface of the first dielectric layer, the first electric traces comprising a plurality of conductive compliant members comprising at least one first distal end, a plurality of the distal ends aligned with a plurality of the openings in the first dielectric layer, the first distal ends adapted to electrically couple with the first circuit member; a second dielectric layer having a first major surface positioned against a portion of at least one of the electric traces or the first major surface of the first dielectric layer, the second dielectric layer having a plurality of openings; and a plurality of second conductive interfaces separate from the first electrical traces located in a plurality of the openings in the second dielectric layer electrically coupled to the first electric traces and adapted to electrically couple with the second circuit member.
