Abstract
Socketable flexible circuit based electronic device modules and sockets for electrically and mechanically connecting the electronic device modules to an interconnect substrate are described. The systems provide ways in which the electronic device module may be positioned accurately and securely on an interconnect carrier, while allowing the electronic device modules to be replaced easily without having to resort to laborious desoldering and resoldering operations to remove the modules and connect new modules in their place.
