Example implementations relate to an electrical socket for an electronic packaging assembly, which accepts a modular integrated circuit (IC) on one side and a circuit board on another side. In some examples, the electrical socket has a first body mountable on a first surface of the circuit board and a second body mountable on a second surface of the circuit board. The first body includes a plurality of conductors (wire-terminated contacts), where each first conductor includes a first end to protrude beyond the first surface of the circuit board and a second end to protrude beyond the second surface of the circuit board. The second body includes a plurality of receptacles, where each receptacle is coupled to the second end of a respective first conductor.
