    摘要: Techniques and mechanisms to provide a connector for securing to a first printed circuit board (PCB). In an embodiment, the connector is configured to receive a second PCB, where a first hardware interface of the connector includes conductors to facilitate bilateral decoupling from (and coupling to) respective hardware interfaces of the first PCB and the second PCB. A first conductor of the first hardware interface includes a first portion configured to move, relative to a housing structure of the connector, in response to the connector receiving a portion of a device which comprises the second PCB. A second portion of the first conductor is configured to be brought into contact with a conductive pad of the device. In another embodiment, the connector includes housing structures configured to move relative to one another while the connector is secured to the first PCB.

    摘要: Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with connectors for coupling to a computer processing unit (CPU) package are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a connector assembly for connection to a computer processing unit (CPU) package may include a connector housing. One or more electrical contacts of the connector housing may be to couple to the CPU package when the connector assembly is engaged with a mating connector assembly. The connector assembly may further include a mounting handle affixed to a top of the connector housing. The mounting handle may include a locking latch that extends from the mounting handle. The locking latch may engage with a notch within the mating connector assembly that, when engaged, the locking latch may provide a force to maintain coupling of the one or more electrical contacts with the CPU package when engaged with the mating connector assembly.

    摘要: Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a linear edge connector assembly for connecting to a substrate diving board of a mother board. The linear edge connector assembly can include an electrical interface to electrically connect the contacts on the diving board to one or more conducts of a cable bundle. The linear edge connector assembly can also include a retaining force mechanism. The retaining force mechanism can include a torsional spring, a spring loaded hooking mechanism, or a spring loaded cam and lever. In some embodiments, the linear edge connector can include a notch to receive a latch connected to a bolster plate on the mother board.
