Abstract
A cast grid array (CGA) package comprises shaped solder posts which may be reflowed and connected directly to a circuit board, such as mother board, or remain in a solid state with the shape allowing them to be secured within a CGA socket which, in turn, may be connected to the a board. Embodiments of the CGA allows for a lower cost socket and package combination by using solder post to interface the socket and not requiring a loading mechanism on every socket.
