Figure 48. Ironwood Socket
10.1 Removing and Installing a K2G in the Socket
The Ironwood Socket shown in
allows for the installation and removal of K2G components.
Caution must be taken to install the component correctly, or damage to the EVM may result. The EVM
arrives with the socket mounted to the board and a K2G installed. The socket consists of a base, a lid, a
compression screw, a compression plate, and an IC frame. In addition, a vacuum pen is needed to
remove the K2G, and a torque wrench to set the correct compression during the installation of the K2G.
Use the following steps to remove the K2G:
1. Disconnect the power supply from the EVM.
2. Loosen the compression screw until the lid can be rotated. It is not necessary to remove the
compression screw from the lid.
3. Rotate the lid counter-clockwise until the heads of the shoulder screws are aligned with the round
openings in the lid. The shoulder screws are permanently fixed in place and do not need to be
tightened or loosened.
