Claims20
An electronic package, comprising:
- a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises:
- an alignment standoff extending away from the substrate;
- a socket secured to the substrate, wherein the socket comprises:
- a housing;
- a plurality of interconnect pins through the housing;
- and
- a hole for receiving the alignment standoff;
- and
- a spring around the alignment standoff, wherein the spring applies a force to separate the substrate from the socket.
6 more elements
An electronic package, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a socket over the substrate, wherein the socket comprises:
- a housing;
- and
- interconnect pins through the housing;
- and
- a retention cover over the socket, wherein the retention cover compresses a bottom end of the interconnect pins between the substrate and the retention cover.
4 more elements
An electronic package, comprising:
- a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises an array of pads;
- a socket attached to the substrate, wherein the socket comprises:
- a housing;
- and
- a plurality of compression mounted technology (CMT) pins passing through the housing;
- and
- wherein the plurality of CMT pins are spaced apart from the array of pads, or wherein the plurality of CMT pins have bottom surfaces that are compressed so that they contact the array of pads.
