ABSTRACT:
A socket assembly for mechanically and electrically coupling an integrated component with an interfacing carrier includes a socket body for receiving the integrated component, a retaining spring hingedly connected to the socket body for retaining the integrated component within the socket body, and at least one post element. The socket body includes at least one generally cylindrical receiving member having at least a portion protruding through an aperture in the interfacing carrier which is deformable to engage the socket body with the carrier when the post element is received within the receiving element. The socket body also includes a first mounting surface having plurality of holes for receiving wadded button contacts and a heat transfer element in contacting relation with the mounting side of the integrated component.
