Abstract
Disclosed is land grid array (LGA) assembly using a compressive load. An LGA assembly includes a first component located on the top of the LGA assembly; a center load screw coupled to the first component; and a second component, wherein the center load screw is received on the second component upon turning the center load screw in a first direction. Further turning of the center load screw in the first direction after the center load screw is received on the second component, operates the first component to apply a compressive load within the LGA assembly.
