ABSTRACT:
An embodiment of the present invention is a method of making a Land Grid Array (LGA) socket. A contact area of a socket is divided into a first L-shaped area and a second L-shaped area. The first L-shaped area has a first center, a first outer long side, and a first outer short side. The first L-shaped area contains a first set of contacts oriented in a first direction. The second L-shaped area has a second center, a second outer long side, and a second outer short side and is located symmetrically to the first L-shaped area. The second L-shaped area contains a second set of contacts oriented in a second direction opposite to the first direction such that pressing a device on the first and second sets of contacts results in approximately zero force and moment.
