Abstract
An electrical interconnect is provided for use within, for example, a land grid array (LGA) interposer such as a module-to-board connector. The electrical interconnect includes an electrically-conductive, compressible conductor which has a first conductor end portion and a second conductor end portion. The first and second conductor end portions physically contact in slidable relation each other with compression of the compressible conductor to facilitate inhibiting rotation of the compressible conductor. In one embodiment, the first end portion includes at least one first leg and the second end portion includes at least two second legs, and the at least one first leg and at least two second legs are interdigitated. Further, in one embodiment, the first end portion and the second end portion are each in slidable contact with an inner-facing surface of the compressible conductor.
