US Patent 10455685 Electronic device, socket, and spacer to alter socket profile

An electronic device may include a circuit board, and the circuit board may include a dielectric material. A socket may be coupled to a first side of the circuit board, and the socket may be configured to receive a semiconductor package. A backing plate may be positioned on a second side of the circuit board. A spacer may be positioned between the backing plate and the circuit board. The spacer may alter the profile of the socket to provide a curved profile to the socket. The spacer may displace a portion of the socket in a first direction, for instance when the spacer is coupled between the backing plate and the circuit board.
