Abstract
Apparatus for interconnecting an integrated circuit device, such as an infrared device, having a plurality of leads to a multilayer printed wiring board having a plurality of interconnects. The apparatus comprises a flexprint circuit having a plurality of interconnects that are configured to mate with the plurality of interconnects on the printed wiring board. The flexprint circuit has wrinkles formed along its surface that form a spring, and a plurality of printed circuit leads that are coupled between the leads of the integrated circuit device and the interconnects. Fastening members is provided for forcibly interconnecting the respective pluralities of interconnects. Respective ends of the flexprint circuit may be folded so that the interconnects contact the interconnects disposed on the printed wiring board. A thermoelectric cooler may be provided for cooling an infrared integrated circuit device, that is coupled through an opening disposed in the flexprint circuit through which the thermoelectric cooler projects to contact the infrared device.
