Zusammenfassung:An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a module having a connector along a center axis of the module. The module further includes a first set of semiconductor chips disposed in a first region of the module that resides between a first edge of the module and a first side of the connector, and, a second set of semiconductor chips disposed in a second region of the module that resides between a second opposite edge of the module and a second opposite side of the connector. A through hole does not exist between the first set of semiconductor chips and the first side of the connector nor between the second set of semiconductor chips and the second side of the connector. The module further includes a first through hole between a third edge of the connector and a third edge of the module and a second through hole between a fourth edge of the connector and a fourth edge of the module. The first and second through holes are to align with first and second studs that are to support a leaf spring when the leaf spring is bowed to press the connector into a printed circuit board.
