Patent ID: 7011530

Claim:
A conductive spring interconnector for electrically joining circuit member, comprising: an anchor portion attached to a surface of a substrate; a free portion connected to the anchor portion and detached from the substrate, the free portion having a top surface; at least a first section of the free portion having at least one first bend, a curvature axis of the first bend substantially parallel to the top surface normal of the free portionl; and at least a second section of the free portion having at least one second bend, a curvature axis of the second bend substantially perpendicular to the top surface normal of the free portion, wherein the conductive spring has a compliance C including, a first compliance C x , a second compliance C y and a third compliance C z ; the first compliance C x and the second compliance C y are in a plane that substantially parallels to the surface of the substrate; the first compliance C x is substantially parallel to a length of the conductive spring; the second compliance C y is substantially orthogonal to the length of the conductive spring; and the third compliance C z is substantially normal to the surface of the substrate.
