Abstract: A first apparatus, such as a die or a semiconductor package, has signal paths extending through the apparatus. The signal paths can include through vias and other components. The signal paths are operable to communicate with a second apparatus when the second apparatus is stacked with the first apparatus. The first apparatus also has pass gates. Each pass gate is configurable in response to a signal, to short a pair of the signal paths to enable substantially simultaneous testing of the signal paths. The pass gates may be configurable to isolate the signal paths during operation of the first apparatus.

Abstract: An electrical connector for electrically connecting to pads of a land grid array formed on an electronic component includes a dielectric layer including opposing first and second surfaces, and a multiple number of contact elements extending above the first surface of the dielectric layer. Each contact element includes a conductive portion disposed to engage a respective pad of the land grid array for providing electrical connection to the land grid array. In particular, the multiple number of contact elements includes a first contact element and a second contact element whereby the first contact element has an operating property different than an operating property of the second contact element. In one embodiment, the operating property includes a mechanical or an electrical property. For example, the first contact element can have a larger elasticity than the second contact element.
