Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards socket contact techniques and configurations. In one embodiment, an apparatus may include a socket substrate having a first side and a second side disposed opposite to the first side, an opening formed through the socket substrate, an electrical contact disposed in the opening and configured to route electrical signals between the first side and the second side of the socket substrate, the electrical contact having a cantilever portion that extends beyond the first side, wherein the first side and surfaces of the socket substrate in the opening are plated with a metal. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
A modular multiple piece socket and a computing system are described herein. The modular multiple piece socket includes a plurality of socket pieces, wherein at least one corridor separates the socket pieces. The plurality of socket pieces may be configured to secure a processing unit to a printed circuit board. The at least one corridor may be filled with a thermally conductive material.
