Abstract

The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for electrically interconnecting multiple electronic components together by disposing the electronic components between two opposing plurality of protrusions that hold the electrical components together and establish an electrical connection therebetween. Each plurality of protrusions may be disposed in an offset arrangement with the opposing protrusions. The opposing protrusions cause the electronic components to bend and adopt a deflected geometry when they are positioned between the opposing sets of protrusions. This bending results in the electronic components being biased against each other so that electrical contacts on each electronic component may be held together and thereby form an electrical connection. As a result, the opposing sets of protrusions can be used to electrically interconnect a plurality of electrical components in the absence of clamping, adhesion, soldering, or pinching.
