PACKAGED DEVICE ADAPTER WITH FORCE APPLIED USING BEARING APPARATUS

摘要

An adapter apparatus and method includes using an adapter body defining a socket cavity configured to receive a packaged device and a torque applicator configured to apply an axial force. A bearing structure positioned between the torque applicator and a packaged device may be used to transfer a force (e.g., an axial force) applied using the torque applicator to the packaged device.
