Abstract
The invention in one particular embodiment is a bracket including a base having an opening shaped to accommodate a socket for an integrated circuit device; and at least one containment member rigidly extending from the base to define a void shaped to accommodate the integrated circuit. In another embodiment, a method for mounting an integrated circuit device to a printed circuit board comprises affixing a bracket to the printed circuit board; mounting a socket to the printed circuit board; and coupling the integrated circuit to the socket, the integrated circuit being vertically and laterally constrained by the bracket.
