Abstract
The technology provides for a system and method to secure a processing device in a socket in high shock and vibration environments, such as inside a vehicle. The processing device may be fitted in the socket, which may be soldered on a circuit board. A mounting plate may be attached to the circuit board. The processing device may be arranged between the circuit board and the mounting plate such that the processing device may be secured to the socket by a compression force applied by the mounting plate. The mounting plate may further provide cooling for the processing device.
