ABSTRACT:
A socket may be formed with socket pins that include two spring biased arms biased to extend away from one another. The arms may be provided with tapered upper surfaces that engage contact holes on a pin guide18of an integrated circuit package, camming the socket pin arms together. The pin guide may have a tapered via structure that expands as it extends into the package. Thus, as the spring arms spread apart inside the pin guide, they may rotate through an angle which causes contacting surfaces on the spring arms and the pin guide to be parallel, creating good surface contact.
