ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly suitable for connecting a leadless integrated circuit device to a circuit board. The circuit device typically has a plurality of flat conductive pads spaced along parallel edges thereof. The circuit board similarly typically has a plurality of flat conductive pads spaced along parallel first and second rows. The connector assembly includes a pair of anchor plates bonded to the circuit board and spaced by a distance just sufficient to accommodate said integrated circuit device therebetween. First and second banks of elongated essentially parallel contacts are fixedly connected, as by solder, to the circuit board pads. When the removable circuit device is placed on the circuit board between the anchor plates, connection from the fixedly connected contact banks to the circuit device pads is made by first and second banks of flexible parallel bridging contacts. The bridging contact banks are placed so as to bridge the space between the fixedly connected contact banks and the circuit device pads. Clamping members are attached to the anchor plates to bear against the bridging contacts to physically secure and electrically connect the circuit device to the circuit board.
