An integrated circuit carrier arrangement includes a printed circuit board (PCB), a receiving plate to which an integrated circuit can be mounted, and a carrier fast with the PCB. The carrier has a plurality of resilient interconnection arms and a plurality of electrical connection islands. A number of the interconnection arms interconnect adjacent electrical connection islands, and a number of the interconnection arms interconnect an electrical connection island and the receiving plate, so that a plurality of electrical connection islands surrounds the receiving plate.
