Abstract
A semiconductor device includes an electronics carrier, an electrically conductive receptacle attached to a first pad of the electronics carrier, and an electrically conductive press-fit connector including a flange and a base portion extending from the flange to a first end of the press-fit connector, wherein the press-fit connector is in a secured position whereby the base portion is disposed within and securely retained by the receptacle, and wherein the base portion of the press-fit connector is configured to maintain vertical separation between the flange and an upper end of the receptacle in the secured position.
Claims20
A semiconductor device assembly, comprising:
- an electronics carrier;
- an electrically conductive receptacle attached to a first pad of the electronics carrier;
- and
- an electrically conductive press-fit connector comprising a flange, a base portion extending from the flange to a first end of the press-fit connector, and a second end opposite from the first end;
- wherein the press-fit connector is in a secured position whereby the base portion is disposed within and securely retained by the receptacle, and
- wherein the base portion of the press-fit connector is configured to maintain vertical separation between the flange and an upper end of the receptacle in the secured position,
- wherein in the secured position the second end of the electrically conductive press-fit connector is exposed.
An electronics carrier interconnection system, comprising:
- an electrically conductive receptacle that is configured to be affixed to an electronics carrier;
- an electrically conductive press-fit connector comprising a flange and a base portion extending from the flange to a first end of the press-fit connector;
- wherein the press-fit connector is configured to be mechanically and electrically connected to the receptacle in a secured position whereby the base portion is disposed within and securely retained by the receptacle,
- wherein the base portion of the press-fit connector is configured to maintain vertical separation between the flange and an upper end of the receptacle in the secured position, and
- wherein in the secured position the second end of the electrically conductive press-fit connector is exposed.
