Summary:A rework grid array interposer with direct power is described. The interposer has a foundation layer mountable between a motherboard and a package. A heater is embedded in the foundation layer to provide local heat to reflow solder to enable at least one of attachment or detachment of the package. A connector is mounted on the foundation layer and coupled to the heater and to the package to provide a connection path directly with the power supply and not via the motherboard. One type of interposer interfaces with a package having a solderable extension. Another interposer has a plurality of heater zones embedded in the foundation layer.
