Abstract:
A socket connector includes a socket assembly having a socket substrate and socket contacts. The socket substrate has first and second upper mating areas and a first lower mating area. The socket substrate has first and second socket substrate conductors at the first and second upper mating areas, respectively, and third socket substrate conductors at the first lower mating area electrically connected to corresponding first socket substrate conductors. The first socket substrate conductors are electrically connected to an electronic package, the second socket substrate conductors are electrically connected to an electrical component and the third socket substrate conductors are electrically connected to a host circuit board. The socket assembly is configured to electrically connect the electronic package with both the host circuit board and the electrical component. The socket contacts have a terminating end terminated to corresponding first socket substrate conductors and a mating end mated to package contacts.

Claim (Index 1):
A socket connector for an electronic system comprising:\n a socket assembly comprising a socket substrate and socket contacts terminated to the socket substrate; the socket substrate having an upper surface and a lower surface, the socket substrate having a first upper mating area on the upper surface and a second upper mating area on the upper surface, the socket substrate having a first lower mating area on the lower surface, the socket substrate having socket substrate conductors on at least one layer of the socket substrate, first socket substrate conductors of the socket substrate conductors being at the first upper mating area, second socket substrate conductors of the socket substrate conductors being at the second upper mating area and being electrically connected to corresponding first socket substrate conductors, and third socket substrate conductors of the socket substrate conductors being at the first lower mating area and being electrically connected to corresponding first socket substrate conductors, the first socket substrate conductors configured to be electrically connected to an electronic package mated to the first upper mating area, the second socket substrate conductors configured to be electrically connected to an electrical component mated to the second upper mating area, the third socket substrate conductors configured to be electrically connected to a host circuit board mated to the first lower mating area; and the socket contacts each having a base, a terminating end extending from the base and a mating end extending from the base, the terminating end being terminated to corresponding first socket substrate conductors, the mating end having a spring beam deflectable relative to the base and a mating beam at a distal end of the spring beam, the mating beam having a separable mating interface configured to be terminated to corresponding package contacts of the electronic package, wherein the base has a front and a rear, the spring beam extending rearward from the base and upward at an angle to elevate the mating end above the base, the mating beam extending forward form the spring beam, the socket contact having a mounting tab extending from the front of the base, the mounting tab configured to be soldered to corresponding upper contact pads on the upper surface defining the first socket substrate conductors to mechanically secure the mounting tab to the socket substrate, wherein the separable mating interface of the mating beam is aligned vertically above the mounting tab, the terminating ends of at least a plurality of the socket contacts each include a compliant beam extending from a rear of the base, the compliant beam being press-fit into corresponding plated vias of the socket substrate defining the first socket substrate conductors; wherein the socket assembly is configured to electrically connect the electronic package with both the host circuit board and the electrical component through corresponding socket substrate conductors.
