Abstract

A socket assembly for a microelectronic device can include a body and a plurality of arm. The body can include a central socket configured to receive a microelectronic device therein. The plurality of arms can each be adjacent to the central socket, where each of the plurality of arms can be rotatably coupled to the body and each of the plurality of arms can be translatable relative to the body to move between an open position and a closed position. The arms can retain a microelectronic device within the central socket when the arms are in the closed position.
