ABSTRACT:
An electrical 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. In particular, the multiple number of contact elements includes a first contact element and a second contact element whereby the first contact element has an operating property different than an operating property of the second contact element. In one embodiment, the operating property includes a mechanical or an electrical property. For example, the first contact element can have a larger elasticity than the second contact element.
