Abstract
A grounded conductive plate in a land grid array package assembly includes a plurality of openings. The openings allow contacts from the socket to pass through to contact a package. The diameter of each opening is customizable to produce desired impedance between the contacts and the conductive plate. Impedance discontinuity seen by signals passing through the socket may be reduced.
