Abstract
Disclosed is a socket assembly for electrically engaging an Integrated Circuit (IC) package with a printed circuit board. The socket assembly includes a socket body and a Pick-and-Place (PnP) cap. The socket body is mounted on the printed circuit board. Further, the PnP cap is capable of detachably mounting on the socket body. An upper surface of the PnP cap includes a raised portion with multiple chamfered portions projecting out from the raised portion. The multiple chamfered portions enable easier detachment of the PnP cap from the socket body.
