Abstract: The load force bolster assembly includes a metallic stiffener. A carrier associated with a CPU (Central Processing Unit) is located upon the load force bolster assembly and positioned upon the electrical connector. A heat sink is located upon both the carrier and the load force bolster assembly wherein a torsioned wire of the bolster assembly provides a downward force upon an up-and-down movable stud which is secured to a screw of the heat sink so as to downwardly push the heat sink, thus enhancing the normal forces among the heat sink, the CPU and the contacts of the electrical connector. To efficiently hold the torsioned wire in position around a bottom corner of the stiffener, a retention groove is formed around the top portion of the restricting pole, and a pressing ring is downwardly snapped into the retention groove so as to restrain the torsioned wire in position.
