BGA/LGA sockets
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 5/1/2004
Tsunami grid array sockets comprise 0.65-mm, 0.80-mm, 1.0-mm, and 1.27-mm pitch open-top sockets, as well as 1.00-mm and 1.27-mm clamshell sockets. The clamshell devices include a Z-axis adjustment feature that allows packages of varying thickness to use the same grid pattern. The lidded sockets accommodate both BGA and LGA packages and allow for integration of passive or active thermal controls in the socket itself. Open top sockets have two points of contact per I/O and leverage pinch-and-wipe technology. Wells-CTI, Phoenix, AZ. 800-348-2505; www.wellscti.com.
