In an embodiment, a device includes: a package component including: integrated circuit dies; an encapsulant around the integrated circuit dies; a redistribution structure over the encapsulant and the integrated circuit dies, the redistribution structure being electrically coupled to the integrated circuit dies; sockets over the redistribution structure, the sockets being electrically coupled to the redistribution structure; and a support ring over the redistribution structure and surrounding the sockets, the support ring being disposed along outermost edges of the redistribution structure, the support ring at least partially laterally overlapping the redistribution structure.

An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a loading frame for mounting a packaged semiconductor chip and a heat sink for the packaged semiconductor chip to a socket. The loading frame is comprised of metal. The loading frame has at least one frame leg where the metal is folded to re-enforce a strength of the frame leg.

Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to enable an active loading mechanism. The electronic device can include a heat source, a heat sink over the heat source, and an active loading mechanism coupled to the heat sink, where the heat sink is thermally decoupled from the heat source when the active loading mechanism is not activated and the heat sink is thermally coupled to the heat source when the active loading mechanism is activated. In an example, the active loading mechanism includes shape memory material and the shape memory material is activated when a temperature of the heat source satisfies a threshold temperature.

A printed circuit board includes a printed wiring board, an electronic element provided on a mounting surface of the printed wiring board, and a heat radiation member provided on an opposite side of a side on which the printed wiring board is positioned with respect to the electronic element, the heat radiation member thermally connected to the electronic element.
