Abstract
Electronic assemblies are described. One embodiment includes a circuit board and a socket coupled to the circuit board. The assembly also includes a load mechanism including a first lever arm and a second lever arm. The load mechanism also includes a first axis portion extending from a first longitudinal end of the first lever arm, the first axis portion pivotally coupled to the circuit board, and a second axis portion extending from a first longitudinal end of the second lever arm, the second axis portion pivotally coupled to the circuit board. The load mechanism also includes a first load arm region extending from the first axis portion and the second axis portion and positioned between the first and second lever arms. The load mechanism also includes a first handle region at a second longitudinal end of the first lever arm, and a second handle region at a second longitudinal end of the second lever arm. The load mechanism also includes a second load arm region extending from the first handle region, and a third load arm region extending from the second handle region, the second and third load arm regions positioned between the first and second lever arms. The load mechanism also includes a gap positioned between an end of the second load arm and an end of the third load arm. The load mechanism is coupled to the circuit board. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
