A system may include an integrated circuit die, a package, and an interconnect. The integrated circuit die may include a conductive die pad, the package may include a conductive package pad, and the interconnect may include two or more stranded wires. A first end of the interconnect is electrically coupled to the conductive die pad, and a second end of the interconnect is electrically coupled to the package pad.

Integrated circuit interconnect

A method and apparatus for a conductive plate for a socket. The conductive plate includes a plurality of openings. The conductive plate is electrically connected to ground and is contained within a socket that may receive an electronic package. The openings allow pins from the electronic package to pass through to contacts in the socket. The diameter of each opening is customizable to produce desired impedance between the electronic package pin inserted in the contact and the conductive plate. Impedance discontinuity seen by signals passing through the socket from the electronic package pins is reduced. The electronic plate may contain one or more pins insertable into contacts in the socket where the contacts provide the electrical connection to ground.
