Abstract
Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with connectors for coupling to a computer processing unit (CPU) package are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a connector assembly for connection to a computer processing unit (CPU) package may include a connector housing. One or more electrical contacts of the connector housing may be to couple to the CPU package when the connector assembly is engaged with a mating connector assembly. The connector assembly may further include a mounting handle affixed to a top of the connector housing. The mounting handle may include a locking latch that extends from the mounting handle. The locking latch may engage with a notch within the mating connector assembly that, when engaged, the locking latch may provide a force to maintain coupling of the one or more electrical contacts with the CPU package when engaged with the mating connector assembly.
