Clamp Interconnect

摘要

An apparatus including a bridge member and a clamp is disclosed. The bridge member is positioned in a first plane and has a substrate with a first surface and a second surface; and a plurality of distinct conductive pillars formed on the second surface of the substrate. The clamp has a body, a proximal end and a distal end. The body is positioned in a second plane above the first plane with the second plane being within 2 degrees of parallel to the first plane. The proximal end is positioned along the second plane; and the distal end has a plurality of prongs. The distal end is offset from the second plane in a direction toward the bridge member such that each prong contacts the first surface of the substrate.
