Single sided, flat, no lead, integrated circuit package
First Claim
1. An integrated circuit package, comprising:
- an enclosure comprising a dielectric housing, a first electrical contact, and a second electrical contact, said dielectric housing, said first electrical contact, and said second electrical contact forming a contact side of said enclosure, and said first and second electrical contacts sized to be substantially alignment insensitive to facilitate alignment tolerances for maintaining a direct bondless, and solderless, secure electro-mechanical connection to corresponding contacts of an end-use equipment when pressure is applied to the enclosure by the end-use equipment, the end-use equipment having a surface, the corresponding contacts mounted fixedly on the surface of the end-use equipment so that the corresponding contacts are flush against the surface; and
an integrated circuit die situated within said enclosure and electrically coupled to said first and second electrical contacts.

Abstract
An integrated circuit package comprising an enclosure including a dielectric housing, a first electrical contact, and a second electrical contact. The dielectric housing, the first electrical contact, and the second electrical contact are configured to form a contact side of the enclosure. In addition, the first and second electrical contacts are sized to be substantially alignment insensitive for electro-mechanical connection to corresponding contacts of an end-use equipment. The enclosure encapsulates an integrated circuit die which is electrically coupled to the first and second electrical contacts. The alignment insensitive first and second electrical contacts may be electro-mechanically connected to corresponding contacts of an end-use equipment (e.g., a printer). Further, the integrated circuit package may be hosted by a peripheral device (e.g., a printer cartridge).
