Patent ID: 7675166

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: an integrated circuit package, comprising: an enclosure comprising a dielectric housing, a first electrical contact, and a second electrical contact, wherein said dielectric housing, said first electrical contact, and said second electrical contact are configured to form a contact side of said enclosure; an integrated circuit die situated within said enclosure and electrically coupled to said first and second electrical contacts; a data processing equipment including third and fourth electrical contacts; and a mechanism to apply a continuous positive pressure on the integrated circuit package, the data processing equipment, or both the integrated circuit package and the data processing equipment whenever the integrated circuit package is attached to the data processing equipment, in a manner that the first and second electrical contacts of the integrated circuit package make direct bondless, and solderless, secure electrical-mechanical connections respectively to the third and fourth electrical contacts of the data processing equipment to facilitate an attachment or removal of the integrated circuit package to and from the data processing equipment.
