Abstract:
Apparatus for electrically connecting two substrates using a land grid array (LGA) connector provided with a frame structure having power distribution elements. In an embodiment, the frame structure includes a frame having one or more conductive layers sandwiched between non-conductive layers. The frame may, for example, be a printed wire board (PWB) having power planes that distribute power from a first substrate (e.g., a system PWB) and/or a power cable to a second substrate (e.g., an electronic module). The frame includes one or more apertures configured to receive an LGA interposer for electrically connecting the two substrates. Preferably, the frame includes four apertures arranged in quadrants that each receive an interposer, and at least one power plane extends between two quadrants and/or adjacent to a peripheral edge of one or more quadrants in the form of stacked and/or parallel bus bars each defining a power domain.
