0.50mm pitch BGA Socket Adapter System

This micro-BGA Socket Adapter System in 0.50mm and 0.65mm pitch from Advanced is a breakthrough in fine pitch socket technology. The patented design alternates male and female pins in an interstitial pattern - offering the reliability of screw-machined terminals with multi-finger contacts in a compact SMT socket. At only 2.00mm larger than the device package, this compact design is perfect for development and validation of BGA and LGA devices, production level socketing, and SMT board to board connector applications.

  • Superior electrical performance - very low signal attenuation up to 1.9 GHz for 0.50mm pitch or 3.5 GHz for 0.65mm pitch
  • Advanced's field-proven screw-machined terminals with multi-finger contacts, arranged in an interstitial male/female pin pattern are gold plated for gold/gold interconnect
  • Small overall size - only 2.00mm larger than the device in standard configuration (1.00mm per side; consult factory for even smaller sizes)
  • Same footprint as device
  • No external hold-downs required
  • Standard eutectic Tin/Lead or lead-free Tin/Silver/Copper solder ball terminals for RoHS Compliant applications
  • Unique alignment pins protect pin field and aid in hand placement with optional stand-offs available
  • Sockets and Adapters are provided with protective covers which facilitate automated pick-and-place and protect pins during storage (before & after assembly)
  • Available in any 0.50mm or 0.65mm pitch footprint
