Abstract: A connector arrangement for interconnecting a leadless integrated circuit package to a printed circuit board by means of a flexible solder socket, for eliminating the problems of thermal stress and vibration in the chip-to-printed circuit board connection. The arrangement includes a plurality of substantially L-shaped flexible connectors arranged in a pattern along the edge of an insulated substrate that coincides with the arrangement of chip contact areas on the periphery of the integrated circuit package that is to be connected to the printed circuit board. Bottom portions of the L-shaped flexible connectors are soldered to the conductor highways on the printed circuit board. The upper leg portion of the L-shaped flexible joint connector member is bent around the edge of the insulated carrier and contacts chip contact layers along the edge of the integrated circuit chip.
