Integrated package insertion and loading mechanism (iPILM)

摘要

A holding member and system including a first and a second holding member, wherein each of the first holding member and the second holding member are coupled to opposite sides of a load plate of a socket. A holding member includes a body including a pair of arms extending from a first side of the body and spaced to accommodate a portion of an integrated circuit chip package therebetween and at least one clip extending from a second side opposite the first side. Also, a method including coupling an integrated circuit chip package to a first holding member and a second holding member, wherein the first holding member is coupled to a first side of a load plate of a socket and the second holding member is coupled to a second side of the load plate; and inserting the package into a socket of a printed circuit board.

1. A system comprising:
a load plate; and a first holding member and a second holding member, wherein each of the first holding member and the second holding member are coupled to opposite sides of the load plate of a socket, each of the first holding member and the second holding member comprising a body comprising a pair of arms spaced from one another and extending from a side of the body in one direction, each arm of the respective pair of arms comprising a shelf projecting in a direction toward the other arm of the pair to accommodate a portion of an integrated circuit chip package therebetween, wherein, when the respective pair of arms are positioned, an integrated circuit chip package can be disposed within the load plate and supported between the arms of the first holding member and the arms of the second holding member.
