Patent ID: 7361024

Claim:
A land grid array (LGA) interposer structure, comprising an electrically insulating carrier plane, at least one interposer mounted on a first surface of said carrier plane, said interposer selectively having a hemi-toroidal, conical, dome-shaped conic section, generally cylindrical or hemi-spherical configuration in transverse cross-section and being constituted of a dielectric elastomeric material; a plurality of electrically-conductive elements being arranged about the surface of said at least one hemi-toroidal interposer and extending radially inwardly and downwardly from an uppermost end thereof into electrical contact with at least one component located on an opposite side of said electrically insulating carrier plane, said at least one component comprising at least one hemi-toroidal internoser mounted on said opposite side of said carrier plane and which is identical to and in an inverted relationship with said first-mentioned at least one hemi-toroidal interposer, said electrically-insulating carrier plane having at least one through-extending via formed therein, said electrically-conductive elements comprising metallic strips forming electrical connections between said first-mentioned at least one hemi-toroidal interposer and said further at least one inverted hemi-toroidal interposer.
