  • Server microprocessor carrier with guiding alignment anti-tilt and automatic thermal interface material separation features for use in land grid array sockets
    Patent number: 11291115
    Abstract: A microprocessor carrier, comprising a frame comprising a metal. The first frame surrounds an aperture for receiving a microprocessor package. At least one hinge assembly is on a first frame edge, and at least one latch assembly is on a second frame edge. One or more alignment tabs coupled to the frame. The one or more alignment tabs extend orthogonally from at least one frame edge. The alignment tabs are to align the microprocessor package with a microprocessor socket. The hinge assembly and the latch assembly are to engage with a microprocessor loading mechanism coupled to a printed circuit board.
    Type: Grant
