The contact arrangement is a connector block for detachably fastening an electrical component, particularly in integrated circuit having a plurality of terminal contacts disposed in a ball grid array (BGA), in a column grid array (CGA), in a land grid array (LGA) or of the flip-chip type to a printed circuit board. In a support part, a number of contact pins are disposed in a grid in bores. The contact pins project from the bore on the sides facing the printed circuit board and are surface-mounted together with contact areas of the printed circuit board. A free end region of each bore is intended for guiding the substantially dome-shaped terminal contacts. Between the end of a contact pin and a terminal contact there is a space bridged for establishing an electrical connection with a contact element, for example an axially compressible coil spring. By means of several holding-down elements disposed peripherally to the integrated circuit, the integrated circuit is pressed down upon the support part. Even with a plurality of terminal contacts, a faultless electrical contact is achievable between the terminal contacts and the associated contact pins with a holding-down force which is relatively small. This particularly because with the contact arrangement according to the invention, no axially acting frictional forces need be overcome for establishing the contact. |
