摘要 |
The present invention provides a carrier with electrical shielding of individual contact elements, resulting in LGA interposer connectors with improved electrical performance. The carrier inclues a plurality of openings, each of which may contain an individual contact element. The openings may be plated with conductive material, and may also be commoned to one or more reference voltages (e.g., ground) present on at least one conductive layer of the carrier. The carrier may be as simple as a single unified structure witha conductive layer on one outer surface, or uch more comlex, having many layers of dielectric and conductive material. The carrier may also provide improved retention of the individual contact elements. The process to assemble one embodiment of the carrier is also disclosed.
