A separable electrical connector for electrically interconnecting an electrical device (32) to a substrate (34). In one embodiment, the connector includes an adapter board (36) electrically connected to the substrate (34), the adapter board having electrical contacts on both sides, and a layer of ACE (38) between the electrical device (32) and the adapter board (36). A mechanical structure (44) is used to apply a compressive force on the ACE through the adapter board and the electrical device. In another embodiment, the connector (170) includes a translator board (163) having electrical contacts (162, 164) on both sides and electrical circuits within to expand the footprint of the fine pitch electrical device (160) to the coarser pitch of the substrate (167). The connector (170) further includes a layer of ACE (165) between the translator board (163) and the substrate (167). In a further embodiment, the separable electrical conductor includes a layer of ACE (820) coupled to a frame (810) and an adaptor board (963) that includes a channel (980) sized and shaped to engage the frame (810), thereby reducing the profile of the connector. In another embodiment, the layer of ACE (1230) is coupled directly to the adaptor board (1220) without the use of the frame, by means of an adhesive contained in the channel (1240).
