Abstract
A hold down member can be surface mounted to a substrate, such that a post of the hold down member extends at least into an interposer. Accordingly, when an on board transceiver is placed in electrical communication with the interposer, a fastener can be inserted at least into the on board transceiver so as to attach to the post, thereby securing the on board transceiver to the interposer and the substrate.
Claims50
An electrical assembly comprising:
- a substrate defining an array of contact locations;
- a hold down member having a substantially flat mounting surface that is configured to be mounted to a surface of the substrate, such that the hold down member extends out from the surface of the substrate;
- an interposer configured to be mounted to the surface of the substrate and mated to an on board transceiver, wherein the interposer comprises electrical contacts that define mounting ends and mating ends, the mounting ends being configured to mount to respective ones of the contact locations when the interposer is mounted to the substrate, the mating ends being configured to mate with complementary electrical contacts of the on board transceiver when the interposer is mated to the on board transceiver;
- and
- wherein the hold down member is configured to attach to a fastener that extends through the on board transceiver and couples the on board transceiver to the substrate.

A hold down member comprising:
- a base having a lower surface and an upper surface opposite the lower surface, the lower surface comprising a substantially flat mounting surface that is configured to be surface mounted to a substrate, wherein a distance between the lower surface and the upper surface comprises a standoff having a first height along a direction normal to the substrate that is less than a second height along the direction normal to the substrate of fusible elements configured to be mounted in electrical communication with the substrate;
- a post, connected to the base, that extends out from the base to a terminal end of the post;
- and
- an aperture that extends at least into the terminal end of the post along a direction toward the base.
