Abstract
The present invention is directed to an apparatus suitable for mounting an integrated circuit (IC) including a frame suitable for receiving an integrated circuit (IC). The frame includes at least one leg coupled to the frame, the leg suitable for engaging a circuit board so as to enable the apparatus to be secured to the circuit board, thereby securing the integrated circuit (IC). At least one of the frame and leg include a conductive material so as to create at least one of a heat conducting path and an EMC ground path between the integrated circuit (IC) and the circuit board.
