Abstract

A land grid array socket (12) includes a dielectric housing (30) and a number of conductive terminals (40) secured thereto. A stiffener (50) having a pair of transverse flanges (504, 508) and a pair of discrete longitudinal sidewall (506) is disposed around the housing. A load plate (60) is pivotally attached to one of the flange for downwardly pressing a land grid array package seated on the terminals toward the housing. A lever (70) is moveably coupled to the other flange for locking the load plate in position.
