Abstract

A thermal management system for an IC device mounted on a circuit board is provided. The system includes a socket housing and an array of power contacts disposed within the housing. The power contacts deliver power to an underside of the IC device and generate heat at the underside of the IC device. A heat conducting interface conveys heat from the underside of the IC device to a heat sink positioned above the IC device.
