ABSTRACT:
The illustrative embodiments provide a socket, a method for manufacturing the socket, a device, and a method for compensating for differing coefficients of thermal expansion between a socket and a printed circuit board. The socket includes surface mounted contacts and an elongated housing. The elongated housing comprises at least two members that are coupled together and disposed to form an aperture in between the at least two members, wherein the surface mounted contacts extend from the aperture, and wherein at least one dimension of the at least two members is selected to compensate for a difference between the coefficients of thermal expansion between the socket and a printed circuit board.
