Abstract
Apparatus including a body as an intermediary between a device and a printed circuit board, the body including a contact area defined by a plurality of openings each to accommodate a contact therethrough and an alignment feature adjacent the contact area and protruding from a plane defined by the contact area, wherein a surface of the alignment feature includes a friction-reducing material. A method including contacting an alignment feature of a socket with a friction-reducing material. Apparatus and system including a body as an intermediary between a device and a printed circuit board; a plurality of contacts each disposed through a contact area of the body and oriented to deflect a device in a first direction; and a load plate coupled to the body and configured to apply an actuation force on a device in a different second direction. A method including inserting a device into a socket.
