Definitions
- This invention relates to an electronic assembly of the kind that may have
- Integrated circuits are usually manufactured in and on wafers that are
- a die may then be mounted to a
- package substrate for purposes of providing rigidity to the entire package and for
- a socket may be mounted to a circuit board, which may be shaped and
- the socket typically have matching substrate and socket contact terminals through
- the socket may have a plurality of socket springs.
- the substrate contact
- terminals may come into contact with free ends of the socket springs and then
- Such cantilever portions are usually aligned with rows or columns of an
- portions of the springs thus limit the number of electric signals that can be routed

- each socket spring 18 has a respective
- Each socket solder ball 16 secured thereto.
- Each socket solder ball 16 is attached to a
- Each socket spring 18 has a respective spacer portion 26 extending in a z-
- a free end 30 of a respective cantilever portion 28 can be moved in a z-
- the substrate contact terminals 22 are located on a lower surface of the substrate contact terminals 22 .
- Each substrate contact terminal 22 is brought into contact
- Center points of the socket solder balls 16 are in an array having rows
- socket solder balls 16 are located are spaced from one another by a
- y-direction is due to design constraints for routing traces on a printed circuit
- Center points of the substrate contact terminals 22 are also in an array of
- terminals 22 are located are spaced from one another by a distance of 1.17 mm.
- terminals 22 is thus exactly the same as the spacing between the rows and
- center points of the socket solder balls 16 are, however, offset relative to the array
- the cantilever portions 28 are oriented at an angle of 30.44°, measured
- 29.33° is due to manufacturing constraints.
- the actual angle is preferably not
- a line 32 can be drawn from a center point of the socket solder ball 16A to
- a line 34 can be drawn from
- the line 32 crosses through the line 34 and would cross through its center point if
- the cantilever portions 28 can be made relatively long while still
- the center point of the socket solder ball 16A is spaced from a
- the socket body 12 has a generally square
- socket solder balls 16 form an array
- FIGS 4 and 5 illustrate the electronic assembly in more detail.
- microelectronic die typically a semiconductor microelectronic die 38, is mounted
- the package substrate 20 is then positioned on the package substrate 20.
- socket body 12 is positioned over the package substrate 20 to retain the package
- An integrated circuit in the microelectronic die 38 is connected to contacts
- socket body 12 is electrically connected to a second electronic device in the form
