ABSTRACT:
A high speed socket includes an insulative housing and a printed circuit board body portion. The PCB body portion includes a PCB and surface mount contacts. Each surface mount contact has a first end portion for making contact with an integrated circuit held in the socket and a second end portion for surface mounting to a printed circuit board. The socket's printed circuit board includes AC grounded conductive columns (ACGCC) that extend from a first planar surface of the PCB to a second planar surface of the PCB. The printed circuit board also includes signal conductors. The signal conductors are shielded by the ACGCCs. In one aspect, the socket includes capacitors that are surface mounted to the socket's PCB. In another aspect, the surface mount contacts include self-adjusting solder tails that accommodate PCB warpage.
