Abstract
Disclosed is a process to manufacture an interposer which includes an interposer socket assembly to use in probing dense pad arrays that minimizes the associated extraneous pin loading and cross-talk caused by a probe tip. The process comprises the steps of: mounting a number of resistors onto a number of predetermined positions in a pad array on an interposer board; inserting a number of interposer pins of a pin socket into the pads of the pad array on the interposer board, wherein the ends of the interposer pins protrude through the interposer board; placing a solder preform around the ends of the interposer pins; and, heating the solder preforms in a solder re-flow oven to solder the interposer pins to the respective pads of the pad array.
