ABSTRACT:
A top loaded burn-in socket for forming a plurality of electrical connections between a ball gird array (BGA) package having a plurality of conductive ball leads and an electrical component is provided. The socket assembly includes a plurality of resilient electrical contacts; a cam being configured to position the contacts from a first position to a second position; a device guide plate including a plurality of openings for receiving the ball leads; and an actuating mechanism configured to interact with the cam to position the contacts, wherein an upper portion of the contacts engages the ball leads between the upper portion and an inclined surface of the device guide plate openings. Each ball is thus held in a manner that does not require the use of a hold down mechanism for effecting electrical continuity between the BGA package and the contacts of the subject burn-in socket.
