Abstract
A socket connector includes a socket assembly having a socket substrate and socket contacts. The socket substrate has first and second upper mating areas and a first lower mating area. The socket substrate has first and second socket substrate conductors at the first and second upper mating areas, respectively, and third socket substrate conductors at the first lower mating area electrically connected to corresponding first socket substrate conductors. The first socket substrate conductors are electrically connected to an electronic package, the second socket substrate conductors are electrically connected to an electrical component and the third socket substrate conductors are electrically connected to a host circuit board. The socket assembly is configured to electrically connect the electronic package with both the host circuit board and the electrical component. The socket contacts have a terminating end terminated to corresponding first socket substrate conductors and a mating end mated to package contacts.
