A connection component is provided. The connection component includes (1) a first interposer having a first surface to which a microelectronic may be mounted and a second surface opposite from the first surface, (2) a second interposer that is more flexible than the first interposer and that is disposed under the second surface of the rigid interposer, and (3) a plurality of conductive parts that may be positioned in the first and second interposers and that may be exposed at the first surface of the first interposer, a bottom surface of the second interposer, or both the first and bottom surfaces. The electrically conductive parts may include leads. A socket assembly or a microelectronic element such as semiconductor chip may be mounted onto the first surface of the rigid interposer. The connection component may be mounted onto a support substrate. |
