Abstract
A low-inductance, low-resistance electrical connector for delivering power from a power supply to an IC module comprises a ground contact, a processor power contact and a cache power contact stamped from pure copper sheets and separated from each other by thin insulation film. Plastic members are provided with spring arms to engage with and thus provide sufficient normal force for contact arms of the corresponding contacts to engage with corresponding contact pads of the IC module thereby ensuring a reliable electrical connection. The ground contact and the processor and cache power contacts are connected with a capacitor board by pressure engagement to connect with the power supply. A number of individual signal contacts is also provided to interconnect a signal source with the IC module via a signal board.
