Patent number: 11205867Abstract: A grid array connector system is provided that includes cables that are mounted on a board which has a chip packaged mounted thereon. The cables include conductors that are connected to support vias positioned in openings in the board and the conductors are connected to the support vias. The board can be connected to a second board which provides a stiffening ring. The board can be connected to the second board by deflectable terminals which are press-fit into the second board.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2020Date of Patent: December 21, 2021Assignee: Molex, LLCInventors: Brian Keith Lloyd, Gregory Walz, Colby Waggener, Karen Hille, Bruce Reed, Sagar Dalvi, Chitaou Tsai
