What about connectors and sockets? Can they be added or connected to the assembly if needed?

Answer:  The body of the assembly can serve as a edge card connector if desired. This is much like a standard PCB assembly. On the other hand, discrete connectors and sockets are much like components and can be put in place like a component. They may require special preparation, such as protective caps, to shield and protect their contacts through processing and until they are ready for use. When ready, the protective cap can be removed and a solderless processor or other assembly can be socketed and/or the connector can be mated to its male or female counter part. Certainly at any point the improved assembly can accommodate compliant-pin, press-fit and similar odd-form second operation components. It is likely that many new types of connectors and sockets will be developed in the coming years to take advantage of the unusual capabilities and economies.
