Electrical connectors having a bent main body for electrical connection between a housing and a support, and being disposed as a grid array or network

A method for manufacturing a connector of a device that includes a plurality of electrical connectors, each configured to allow a connection between two electrical contacts facing a package and a support respectively, each electrical connector including a main body including a first end for being fixedly connected to the package and a second end for being fixedly connected to the support, the main body being folded along at least one folding zone;

• the plurality of electrical connectors being disposed as a grid array or network on a surface of one of elements selected from the package and the support, the plurality of connectors enabling the grid array or network of the element to be connected with the other of the elements selected from the package and the support;
• the plurality of electrical connectors including a general vertical direction orthogonal to the package and to the support, different connectors or groups of connectors among the plurality of connectors being disposed along the general vertical direction with different orientations at 90° relative to each other within the grid array or network;
• and a grid array base-forming element in which a plurality of cavities is formed according to a desired shape of the grid array or network of the connectors, the plurality of cavities being formed with different orientations, the method comprising:
• from a conductive material conditioned as a sheet or coil, shaping by folding, cutting-out, and performing surface treating operations for attachment, by brazing or soldering, to obtain said each connector of the plurality of connectors.
