A method and apparatus for reducing warpage of an assembly substrate and providing registration between a surface mount technology (SMT) component and the assembly substrate. The SMT component includes mounting pins extending from the component and capable of engaging corresponding apertures in the assembly substrate. Each mounting pin is registrable with a corresponding aperture in the assembly substrate. The mounting pins are capable of providing an interference fit between the SMT component and the assembly substrate.

Method and apparatus for reducing warpage of an assembly substrate

A module which has an integral blower that cools an integrated circuit package. The blower is attached to a heat sink that is mounted to the integrated circuit package. Heat generated by the integrated circuit conducts to the heat sink. The blower generates a stream of air that flows across the heat sink and removes heat from the package. The module may have a manifold and duct that direct the airstream across the heat sink.
