LGA1366 Socket and ILM Electrical, Mechanical and Environmental Specifications
5.4
Loading Specifications
The socket will be tested against the conditions listed in the LGA1366 Socket Validation
Reports with heatsink and the ILM attached, under the loading conditions outlined in
this chapter.
provides load specifications for the LGA1366 socket with the ILM installed.
The maximum limits should not be exceeded during heatsink assembly, shipping
conditions, or standard use condition. Exceeding these limits during test may result in
component failure. The socket body should not be used as a mechanical reference or
load-bearing surface for thermal solutions.
Notes:
1.
These specifications apply to uniform compressive loading in a direction perpendicular to the IHS top
surface.
2.
This is the minimum and maximum static force that can be applied by the heatsink and it’s retention
solution to maintain the heatsink to IHS interface. This does not imply the Intel reference TIM is validated
to these limits.
3.
Loading limits are for the LGA1366 socket.
4.
This minimum limit defines the compressive force required to electrically seat the processor onto the socket
contacts.
5.
Dynamic loading is defined as an 11 ms duration average load superimposed on the static load
requirement.
6.
Test condition used a heatsink mass of 550gm [1.21 lb] with 50 g acceleration measured at heatsink mass.
The dynamic portion of this specification in the product application can have flexibility in specific values, but
the ultimate product of mass times acceleration should not exceed this dynamic load.
