    摘要: An electrical connector and a method of make the same. The electrical connector includes an insulator housing formed with a plurality of through holes extending from a first surface to a second surface of the insulator housing. A flowable polymeric material is located adjacent at least one retention region in each of the through holes. Contact members are positioned within each of the through holes. Energy and/or pressure is applied to the electrical connector so the flowable polymeric material flows into engagement with retention features on the contact members. The electrical connector is cooled so the flowable polymeric material fuses to the contact members in a retention regions.

The socket housing has an opening adapted to receive the singulated integrated circuit device. The compliant printed circuit is positioned relative to the socket housing to electrically couple with the terminals on a singulated integrated circuit device located in the opening. The compliant printed circuit includes a dielectric base layer printed onto a surface of a fixture, while leaving cavities in the surface of the fixture exposed. A plurality of contact members are formed in the plurality of cavities in the fixture and coupled to the dielectric base layer. The contact members are exposed wherein the compliant printed circuit is removed from the fixture. At least one dielectric layer with recesses corresponding to a target circuit geometry is printed on the dielectric base layer. A conductive material is deposited in at least a portion of the recesses to form conductive traces electrically coupling the contact members to the other circuit member.
