ABSTRACT:
An electrical socket used for interconnecting a multichip module to a printed circuit board or similar electrical system. The electrical socket is independent of the multichip module and permits removal and replacement of the multichip module without damaging the module and its module electrical leads. The socket includes an insulated base strip and an insulated cap strip. The base strip includes a plurality of elongated lower pockets therein for receiving and properly aligning each of the module electrical leads therein. The base strip also includes conductive pads in the bottom of and along the length of each pocket. Each conductive pad is connected to a socket lead. The socket leads are used for connection to the printed circuit board or like electrical system. The cap strip includes a plurality of elongated upper pockets therein which are dimensioned for receipt above the lower pockets of the base strip. The module electrical leads are curved sinusoidally so that when the cap strip is received on top of the base strip, the module electrical leads are compressed inside the upper and lower pockets. The compliance of the leads inside the electrical socket provides for maintaining good electrical contact during various environmental stresses such as temperature fluctuations and vibrations found during aircraft and spacecraft flight.
