ABSTRACT:
A reusable socket adapted for use in making an electrical connection between an integrated circuit of a ball grid array (BGA) type package and a circuit board or test fixture. In one embodiment, the socket includes a return member for reshaping the socket. In a further embodiment, a socket assembly includes a plurality of spaced sockets. In an alternative embodiment, a socket assembly further includes a base member. In another embodiment, a socket is formed from a temperature dependent smart memory material. In a further embodiment, a socket assembly includes a plurality of sockets formed from a shape memory material. In an alternative embodiment, a zero insertion force (ZIF) or a low insertion force (LIF) socket assembly for a BGA package includes a plurality of sockets and a lever adapted for frictionally engaging respective BGA contact balls.
