ABSTRACT:
A connector for electrically connecting to pads of a land grid array formed on an electronic component includes a dielectric layer including opposing first and second surfaces, and a multiple number of contact elements extending above the first surface of the dielectric layer. Each contact element includes a conductive portion disposed to engage a respective pad of the land grid array for providing electrical connection to the land grid array. The connector further includes an electrical circuit formed on or within the dielectric layer. The electrical circuit is electrically connected to at least one of the multiple number of contact elements. In one embodiment, the electrical circuit includes an electrical component, such as a decoupling capacitor. In another embodiment, the electrical circuit operates to connect two contact elements together. For instance, the contact elements connecting to the ground potential can be connected together through the electrical circuit.
