Interconnect device

An interconnect device comprising:

• a contact assembly having a carrier holding an array of elastomeric columns, each of the elastomeric columns being electrically conductive and being configured to provide an electrical path between first and second electrical components such that the elastomeric columns electrically interconnect the first and second electrical components;
• and
• a frame defining a receiving space configured to receive the first electrical component therein, the frame comprising corner frames that are configured to engage in physical contact with the first electrical component to locate the first electrical component within the receiving space, wherein each of the corner frames comprises:
• a base;
• an engagement member configured to engage in physical contact with the first electrical component as the first electrical component is received into the receiving space, the engagement member being configured to be resiliently deflected toward the base in a compliance direction via engagement with the first electrical component;
• and
• opposing spring beams that mechanically connect the engagement member to the base, wherein the spring beams are configured to spread apart from each other as the engagement member is deflected in the compliance direction.

An interconnect device comprising:

• a contact assembly having a carrier holding an array of conductors, each of the conductors being configured to provide an electrical path between first and second electrical components such that the conductors electrically interconnect the first and second electrical components;
• and
• a frame defining a receiving space configured to receive the first electrical component therein, the frame comprising at least one corner frame configured to engage in physical contact with the first electrical component to locate the first electrical component within the receiving space, wherein the at least one corner frame comprises:
• a base;
• an engagement member configured to engage in physical contact with the first electrical component as the first electrical component is received into the receiving space, the engagement member being configured to be resiliently deflected toward the base in a compliance direction via engagement with the first electrical component;
• and
• opposing spring beams that mechanically connect the engagement member to the base, each spring beam comprising a base segment that extends outward from the base and a member segment that extends outward from the engagement member and is mechanically connected to the base segment, the base and member segments being angled with respect to each other at an angle that reduces as the engagement member is deflected in the compliance direction.
