  • Electrical contact for LGA and BGA electrical packages
    Patent number: 6585535
    Abstract: An electrical contact and electrical connector are provided for use in connecting a circuit board with an electrical module. The connector includes a socket and contact assembly that are solderably secured to the circuit board. A retention clip is removable snapped on the socket to retain an electrical module within the socket and in electrical communication contact with the contacts, thereby interconnecting the electrical module with the circuit board. The retention clip is removable to permit replacement of the module. The electrical contact includes a solder member mounted to a shorting member to permit the contact to be solderably connected to the printed circuit board, while permitting a non-soldered connection between the module and the socket. The contact includes an upper interface that is biased in a manner to form a shorted electrical path between the module and circuit board when the module is biased downward onto the contact.
