Various embodiments provide for flexible and robust power grid connectivity in a server on a chip environment. The power grid has three parallel conductors, (e.g., wires) which represent two power polarities. The outside two wires can be of a first polarity (e.g. Vdd), while the middle wire is of a second polarity (e.g., Vss). The polarities of the wires can also be switched, as long as the two outside wires have the same polarity, while the inside wire has a different polarity. Power pins from modules adjacent to the set of three wires make connections to the nearest wire of the matching polarity. In this way, every power pin on the modules can be connected to the power grid without need for special alignment or custom power pins.
