Abstract
A socket is for use in an electronic system to hold a circuit board module that has spaced electrical pads proximate to two opposite edges thereof. The socket includes a base and electrical conductors. The base has rectangularly arranged peripheral portions and is for receiving the circuit board module. The electrical conductors align with the electrical pads on the circuit board module. At least portions of the electrical conductors are disposed on respectively opposite ones of the peripheral portions to contact at least portions of corresponding ones of the aligned electrical pads on the circuit board module when the circuit board module is held in the socket.
