Apparatus, system, and method for facilitating electrical continuity between sockets and warped electrical components

Abstract:

A disclosed socket may include (1) a base that is arched to match a degree of warpage experienced by an electrical component and (2) an array of contact pins arranged across the base. A first side of the contact pins may be electrically coupled to a circuit board, and a second side of the contact pins may protrude from the base opposite the circuit board to establish contact with the electrical component despite the degree of warpage experienced by the electrical component. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
