The socket releasably couples a packaged integrated circuit to a circuit board. The socket includes a clamp, a latch, and an array interconnect. The clamp is configured to be pivotally coupled to a circuit board. The latch is configured to be coupled to the circuit board and configured to releasably hold the clamp in a predetermined position. The array interconnect configured to be coupled to the printed circuit board. In use the latch releasably holds the hinged clamp in the predetermined position to clamp both a packaged integrated circuit between the clamp and the array interconnect, and the array interconnect between the packaged integrated circuit and the circuit board.
