Abstract
A connector and contact for electrically interconnecting terminals of an upgraded circuit module to the leads of a pre-existing electronic component affixed to contact pads on a substrate through a separable connection, the connector having a frame upon which contacts are retainably positioned to form the interconnection between respective terminals and leads and a clamping mechanism for holding at least the connector and the pre-existing electronic component together to maintain the electrical interconnection. The circuit module being mountable either directly above the pre-existing electronic component in piggy-back manner or at a remote location by placing conductive pathways, such as a flat flex cable, between the terminals and the contacts.
