Abstract
An integrated circuit attachment implementation includes a mechanism for inserting and securely holding a replaceable component to an integrated circuit. The mechanism includes a top plate, leaf springs in contact with the top plate, a leaf spring cradle that carries the leaf springs, with the cradle including upper projections that project through corresponding slots in the top plate, a pin inserted through openings in the upper projections, and a linear slide cam located on an upper surface of the top plate between the upper projections and further located below the pin. The cam operates in a first position to transfer a load the replaceable component to securely hold the replaceable component to the integrated circuit and a second position to allow placement of the replaceable component on the integrated circuit.
