Interposer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An interposer is an electrical interface routing between one socket or connection to another. The purpose of an interposer is to spread a connection to a wider pitch or to reroute a connection to a different connection. [1]
Interposer comes from the Latin, interpōnere, meaning 'to put between.' [2]
A common example of an interposer is an integrated circuit die to BGA, such as in the Pentium II. This is done through various substrates, both rigid and flexible, most commonly FR4 for rigid, and polyimide for flexible.[1]
