Electrical connector assembly for connecting first and second circuitized substrates

An electrical connector for coupling two circuitized substrates (e.g., a ball grid array module and a printed circuit board) wherein the connector includes a base member fixedly secured (e.g., soldered) to the printed circuit board and having one substrate oriented therein. The connector further inc...

Zusammenfassung:An electrical connector for coupling two circuitized substrates (e.g., a ball grid array module and a printed circuit board) wherein the connector includes a base member fixedly secured (e.g., soldered) to the printed circuit board and having one substrate oriented therein. The connector further includes a 2-part retention member including one part movably oriented in the base and a second part for directly engaging the retained substrate to cause it to move downwardly (and thus in a completely different direction than the direction of rotation of the movable one part within the base) to thereby provide effective connection between substrates. An interposer may be used if desired. An information handling system including a microprocessor and connector electrically coupled thereto is also disclosed.
