Abstract:
1. A compression device comprising: a frame sized to accept an integrated circuit package, the frame including a surface defining an opening with an axis and first and second ramps extending from the surface defining the opening, the first and second ramps being disposed symmetrically on opposing sides of the surface defining the opening, the each of the first and second ramps having: a pressor configured to engage the first and second ramps and rotate in response to applied force, wherein movement of the pressor along the axis is caused by such rotation when engagement between the first and second ramps and the pressor is in the sloped portions of the first and second ramps and continued movement of the pressor along the axis is limited when engagement between the first and second ramps and the combined unit is in the flat portions of the first and second ramps.
