    Abstract: An electronic device connection system includes a first electrical device and a second electrical device. The first electrical device includes a plurality of electrical connectors disposed in, on, or about at least a portion of an exterior surface of the first electrical device. The second electrical device includes a plurality of electrical contacts disposed in, on, or about at least a portion of an exterior surface of the second electrical device. A mechanical compressor exerts a force on at least one of the first electrical device or the second electrical device such that the electrical connections on the first electrical device physically and conductively couple to the electrical contacts on the second electrical device. The device casing may function as the mechanical compressor. The electrical connectors and/or electrical contacts may include injection molded connectors that include a conductive material dispersed in a thermoplastic matrix.

    Abstract: A circuit board assembly includes at least one circuit board having a plurality of conductive layers, the at least one circuit board having a first face and an opposite second face. A first chip socket on the first face is positioned opposite of a second chip socket on the second face. In one example, each chip socket can receive a processor. The first and second chip sockets may be arranged in a mirrored fashion with respect to one another, or an overlapping but non-mirrored fashion. In any such arrangements, as fasteners are tightened to fully seat first and second chips respectively installed in the first and second chip sockets, forces applied to the first chip effectively neutralize or otherwise reduce opposing forces applied to the second chip, thereby reducing circuit board deflection.

    Abstract: Embodiments include a transmission line-land grid array (TL-LGA) socket assembly, a TL-LGA socket, and a package substrate. The TL-LGA socket assembly includes a TL-LGA socket having an interconnect in a housing body, the interconnect includes a vertical portion and a horizontal portion. The housing body has a top surface and a bottom surface, where the top surface is a conductive layer. The TL-LGA socket assembly also includes a package substrate having a base layer having a signal pad and a ground strip. The base layer is above the conductive layer of the housing body of the TL-LGA socket. The ground strip is above the horizontal portion of the interconnect and adjacent to the signal pad. The horizontal portion is coupled to the signal pad on the base layer. The package substrate may have a pad with a reduced pad area.
