4 Electrical Requirements Socket electrical requirements are measured from the socked-seating plane of the processor test 
vehicle (PTV) to the component side of the socket PCB to which it is attached. All specification are 
maximum values (unless otherwise stated) for a single socket pin, but includes effects of adjacent 
pins where indicated. Pin and socket inductance includes exposed pin from mated contact to bottom 
of the processor pin field.
