ABSTRACT:
A retention mechanism comprises a base, a pair of arms and a pair of locking elements. The base forms a hollow slot for receiving a connector therein. The arms vertically extend from lateral ends of the base. Each arm forms a receiving slot for receiving a CPU package therein. A leading element is formed in each arm and a positioning slot is formed in each leading element. A guiding face is formed on a top of each leading element for facilitating insertion of the CPU package. Each locking element engages with a free end of the arm and a top edge of the CPU package for ensuring a reliable connection between the CPU package and the connector.
