1. An interconnect for testing a semiconductor component comprising:
a substrate having a first side and an opposing second side;
a contact on the first side of the substrate configured to electrically engage a terminal contact on the component;
a cavity on the second side of the substrate aligned with the contact; and
a flexible segment of the substrate between the contact and the cavity configured to permit the contact to move to accommodate
a variation in a size or a planarity of the terminal contact.
