ABSTRACT:
According to a first embodiment of the invention, a Land Grid Array (LGA) socket includes two sets of spring-loaded contacts, the contacts in the first set having an orientation opposite the contacts in the second set. Each set of contacts is positioned such that the total force and total moment of about the socket center by the wiping of the contacts is near zero. According to a second through fourth embodiment of the invention, a rectangular socket may be formed. According to these embodiments, the contacts are divided into four sets. Each set may have a different orientation, arranged so that the total force and moment are near zero.
