<p>An intercoupling component (10) (e.g. socket or adapter) is provided for increasing the dissipation of heat generated within an integrated circuit (IC) array (12) positioned within the intercoupling component (10), while maintaining a relatively low profile. The intercoupling component (10) includes a heat sink (30) positioned within the package support member (16) and having an upper surface (45) in contact with a lower surface of the integrated circuit package (12). The package support member (16) includes contact terminals (18) disposed within associated openings (20) of the package for electrically connecting the contacting areas of the integrated circuit package (12) to the corresponding connection regions of the substrate (14). The openings (20) extend from an upper surface to an opposite lower surface of the support member (16) and are located in a pattern corresponding to a pattern of the connection contacts. The heat sink (30) may be configured to be removable and replaceable.</p> |
