Abstract:
A land grid array socket assembly comprises a plurality of cells, with each cell comprising an insulative body having a top surface, and contact conductor that has a first portion that extends from a board contact point up to and beyond the top surface to a contact bend, and a second portion that extends from the contact bend to terminate below the top surface and within the insulative body.

Abstract:
A printed circuit board can be used as a test card. The printed circuit board has a first image and a second image. The first image includes a first array pattern for attaching a package, a first power plane, and a first ground plane. The second image includes a second array pattern for attaching a package, a second power plane, and a second ground plane. A first routing area between the first image and the second image electrically and physically isolates the first power plane from the second power plane. The first routing area also physically isolates the first ground plane from the second ground plane. A first single trace extends through the first routing area. The first single trace electrically connects the first ground plane to the second ground plane.
