ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for removably retaining an IC package in engagement with a socket such that the contacts of both the IC package and the socket are properly engaged is disclosed. Specifically, a universal retention mechanism (URM) which may be fabricated in a diecast material, may comprise a retention frame to engage a socket. A load plate hinged to the retention frame may be caused to press the socket and IC package together through force selectively applied through the use of a load lever. In addition, the frame may contain features to attach a thermal solution (e.g. a heat sink or other cooling device) directly to the frame thus eliminating the need to attach it directly to a motherboard or through a backplate.
