Patent attributes
A system for providing electrical contacts between a die and an electrical device includes a die and a package. The package includes a first major surface, a second major surface, a first scalloped edge, a second scalloped edge and a solid end adapted for insertion into a slot. The solid end and the scalloped edges carry current greater than the current needed for an input/output signal. The socket includes a base having an opening therein adapted to receive the package. A slot is located at one end of the opening in the base. The slot is provided with a plurality of conductors for carrying currents greater than the current needed for an input/output signal. A first edge and second edge of the opening include a plurality of spaced overhangs positioned over the opening. The overhangs are sloped with respect to the major planar surface.
