Apparatus and method for electrically interconnecting two integrated circuit boards, which includes spring finger contact pads positioned on one board which are matched to raised contact pads on a second board in a manner such that the assembly is easily disassembled and reconnectable and such that it provides for exact height registration between boards. Accurate height registration is required when, for example, an electro-optical device referenced with respect to an optical system is mounted on one of the circuit boards.

Spring finger interconnect for IC chip carrier

An integrated circuit chip carrier having miniaturized electrical input/output interconnectors, such that the area of the chip carrier may be matched or minimized with respect to the area of the integrated circuit. Such input/output interconnectors are reusable, such that the chip carrier may be easily removed and reconnected to a mother board assembly. Input/output interconnections as provided which when used allow an electro-optical integrated circuit to become in focus.
