Abstract: A semiconductor device (40, 50, 70) is electrically connected to a circuit board (30) through use of one or more connectors (10, 20, 90). Connector (10) includes locking pins (14) which fit through alignment holes (34) of the circuit board and which are either mechanically deformed to lock the pins in the holes, or which are received by locking holes (24, 94) of a complementary connector (20, 90). An interposer (60, 80) is used as a compliant member to assure that adequate electrical connection is made between the external terminals (42, 72) of the semiconductor device without damaging the device or the circuit board. Connector (10) includes a cavity (12) which is dimensioned to accommodate the semiconductor device while assuring proper alignment between the locking pins, the external terminals, and the circuit board.
