Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe package alignment frames for a local reflow process to attach a semiconductor package to an interposer. The frame may comprise a two frame system. The interposer may be on a mounting table or on a circuit board. The frame may include a body with a rectangular opening dimensioned to receive a semiconductor package to be coupled to the interposer. The frame may be to align a ball grid array of the semiconductor package with pads of the interposer. A second frame may be to receive the first frame and may be to align a ball grid array of the interposer with pads of the circuit board. A single frame may be used to couple a semiconductor package to an interposer and to couple the interposer to a circuit board. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are integrated circuit (IC) package support structures, and related systems, devices, and methods. In some embodiments, an IC package support structure may include a first heater trace, and a second heater trace, wherein the second heater trace is not conductively coupled to the first heater trace in the IC package support structure.

Abstract: Reflow Grid Array technology may be implemented on an interposer device, where the interposer is placed between a motherboard and a BGA package. The interposer may provide a controlled heat source to reflow solder between the interposer and the BGA package. A technical problem faced by an interposer using RGA technology is solder cleaning and removal when removing a BGA package. Technical solutions described herein provide processes and equipment for bulk solder removal from a BGA package that can be executed in the field.

Abstract: In one embodiment chassis for an electronic device comprises a first section and a second section and an assembly to connect a first section of the chassis to a second section of the chassis, comprising a hinge assembly to be coupled between the first section of the chassis and the second section of the chassis to allow rotation of the second section of the chassis with respect to the first section of the chassis, and a translation assembly to be coupled to the hinge assembly of the chassis for the electronic device to allow translation of the second section of the chassis with respect to the first section of the chassis, wherein rotation of the hinge assembly activates the translation assembly. Other embodiments may be described.

Abstract: A land-grid array die package socket is configured for low- or zero insertion-force assembly with a land-grid array die package. For zero insertion-force assembly, a motion plate applies a force on a land-grid array contact that causes a contact tip to move into protective cover while the die package is inserted into the socket. After zero insertion-force assembly, the motion plate applies a force on the land-grid array contact that causes the contact tip to deflect in a positive-Z direction until a useful contact is made at the contact tip with a land-grid array pad.

Abstract: A mobile device assembly comprising a land grid array (LGA) socket configured to couple with a board of a mobile device. The LGA socket may be configured to couple with a component of the mobile device. A mobile independent loading mechanism (ILM) may at least partially overlap the component and couple with the board of the mobile device via one or more fasteners. By coupling with the board of the mobile device, the mobile ILM may therefore apply pressure to the component, securely holding the component to the LGA socket.

Abstract: A tie wrap assembly comprises a tie wrap, for retaining a cable assembly, and a tie wrap base, for connecting the cable assembly to the chassis. The tie wrap includes a shaped engagement member for fittably coupling to an orifice within the tie wrap base. The tie wrap base is flexible, allowing the engagement member to be repeatedly inserted into and removed from the tie wrap base, as well as being fit through a hole in the chassis. One or more tie wrap bases are disposed at pre-arranged locations along the chassis. The tie wrap assembly allows cabling to be consistently routed along the pre-arranged locations, facilitating the consistent placement of cables in a mass production environment.
