Abstract
A socket connector assembly includes a housing, signal terminals, and a power module subassembly. The housing is mounted to a circuit board and includes opposing walls having internal surfaces. The signal terminals are joined to the internal surfaces of the walls and engage conductive members disposed along side edges of an electronic package that is received into the housing between the walls. The power module subassembly is coupled to the circuit board between the walls of the housing. The power module subassembly includes a power contact configured to engage a current carrying conductor disposed on a surface of the electronic package that extends between the side edges of the electronic package.
