Our pin grid array (PGA) sockets include a processor socket line designed for use with Intel- and AMD-based microprocessor packages. Because complex printed circuits are too valuable to risk direct soldering to expensive integrated circuits (ICs), using a PGA socket offers advantages that prove cost effective and simplify board design. Our portolio includes micro pin grid array (mPGA) and PGA sockets with low to zero insertion force. The mPGA and PGA sockets are designed for various microprocessor packages for notebook PCs, desktop PCs, and servers. For custom applications, these HXC125 compression sockets can be configured to the specific application.
