BGA Socket Adapter Systems

Ball Grid Array (BGA) Socket Adapter Systems are an economical solution for device validation and development when soldering the IC to a printed circuit board (PCB) is not practical. The low insertion force design facilitates easy device replacement or field repair in production applications - eliminating the time, cost, and potential board damage caused by desoldering devices.

0.50mm and 0.65mm Pitch Models

The micro-BGA Socket Adapter System in 0.50mm and 0.65mm pitch from Advanced is a breakthrough in fine pitch socket technology. The proprietary 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.

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).
