An electrical contact includes a base having a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge. The base is configured to electrically connect with a first electrical component. The electrical contact also includes a first section extending from the first edge and a second section extending from the second edge and including a contact portion to electrically connect with a second electrical component. The second section further includes a pre-load shelf configured to engage with the first section to electrically connect the first electrical component to the second electrical component.

A connector for electrically connecting to conductive structures formed on a semiconductor device includes a core including an isolation layer and signal vias and ground vias formed in the isolation layer; a first ground plane formed on a surface of the core and electrically connected to the ground vias; a first set of contact elements formed on a first surface of the core and electrically connected to the signal vias to form signal pins; a second set of contact elements formed on the first surface and electrically connected to a subset of the ground vias to form ground pins. The remaining ground vias without contact elements form buried ground vias. The first and second sets of contact elements are arranged on the first surface of the core to surround each signal pin by at least one adjacent ground pin and one or more adjacent buried ground vias.

A contact element includes a frame and a contact spring fixed to the frame. The frame has a first region and a second region opposite the first region. The second region is spaced apart from the first region by a gap. The contact spring has a fixed end fixed to the first region of the frame and a free end opposite the fixed end. The contact spring extends from the first region across the gap to the second region. The free end of the contact spring overlaps the second region.

This document describes techniques and apparatuses directed to force distributing spring contacts. The disclosed spring contacts electrically connect a first component to a second component within a computing device. In implementations, the computing device includes a spring contact having a flexure coupled to a contact pin and configured to apply a force to the second component through the contact pin. The contact pin can include a small or precise structure configured to provide a precise electrical connection to the second component. However, the force to the second component through the small or precise structure of the contact pin increases an applied pressure, which can damage the second component. The disclosed techniques and apparatuses describe force distributing spring contacts with a force distributor configured to distribute the force to the second component over a larger surface area, thereby decreasing the applied pressure and preventing damage to the second component.

An electrical connector is adapted to be retained in a non-conducting housing and electrically connecting a first component to a second component spaced from one another. The connector includes a first end having a first contact portion for electrically communicating with the first component. A second end of the connector has a second contact portion for electrically communicating with the second component. The second end has a cantilevered beam adapted to flex at a knee portion to bias the second contact portion against an electrical contact surface of the second component. An attachment portion is disposed between the first and second ends. The attachment portion includes an engagement portion providing an interference fit with a mating groove of the housing in which the connector is retained.
