Abstract

An apparatus for coupling an integrated circuit (IC) package to a printed circuit board. The apparatus includes an interposer an interposer having a plurality of connections suitable for surface mounting on corresponding pads of a printed circuit board (PCB). The plurality of connections is arranged in a grid array. The interposer further includes a plurality of plated through holes. The apparatus further includes a substrate having a plurality of pins. The substrate is coupled to the interposer by inserting each of the plurality of pins into a corresponding one of the plurality of plated through holes of the interposer. An IC package including an IC is mounted on the substrate.
