SOCKET WITH ROUTED CONTACTS

摘要

A socket (130) employs a substrate (310) including a conductive network. An array of first contacts (136) is on a top surface of the substrate (310) and arranged to engage an integrated circuit (110). An array of second contacts (138) is on a bottom surface of the substrate (310) and arranged to engage a circuit board (120). The conductive network electrically connects the first contacts (136) respectively to the second contacts (138), and the first contacts (136) include a routed first contact (136′) that the conductive network routes horizontally in or on the substrate (310).

主权项

1. A socket interposer, comprising:
a substrate; a first set of contacts on a top surface of the substrate to interface with an integrated circuit; a second set of an exposed portion of the top surface of the substrate; and a set of traces, each trace connecting a contact of the first set contact and a contact of the second set.
