Integrated circuit (IC) carrier assembly with suspension means

摘要

An integrated circuit (IC) carrier assembly includes a printed circuit board (PCB). A carrier is soldered to the PCB. The carrier includes a plurality of electrical contact islands surrounding a receiving zone for receiving an IC. Pairs of adjacent islands are interconnected by respective resilient suspension means. The IC is received in the receiving zone and is electrically coupled to some of the plurality of islands adjacent to the receiving zone.
