Hi Mike,
Any cooler up your way?
I remember some development components mounted above spring loaded pins
for contact back in the 80s. Some were published at the Electronic
Manufacturing Seminar, China Lake back then. I suppose this looks a
little different but similar principle. Seems to me there was a contact
issue over time and ESS.

Subject: [TN] Springs, Not Solder?

"Using springs and glue instead of solder to make electronic connections
between computer chips could end one of the electronics industry's most
wasteful habits, say researchers at the Palo Alto Research Center and
Oracle.
