Processor socket eases
PCI Express integration
FCI has developed a lead-free, 775-position LGA775 processor socket to enable the use of microprocessors that support PCI Express signalling in desktop PCs
FCI has developed a lead-free 775-position LGA775 processor socket to enable the use of microprocessors that support PCI Express signalling in desktop PCs. Using FCI's patented BGA (ball grid array) technology for motherboard attachment and an LGA (land grid array) interface to the microprocessor, the LGA775 processor socket performs as a low inductance device (less than 4nH) with less than 1pF capacitance pin-to-pin to optimise the processor's high-speed electrical performance.

A low normal force contact with wiping action produces consistent and reliable electrical performance.
A pre-installed pickup cover facilitates placement using conventional pick-and-place equipment while the use of BGA termination technology allows the socket assembly to self-centre on the PCB pads as well as self-level in the z-axis direction.
An integrated lever system actuates the socket when the chip has been seated properly.
BGA technology also reduces cost of assembly in contract manufacturing.
'Our LGA775 socket is RoHS-compliant and compatible with lead-free processing temperatures', says Scott Kleinle, FCI Global Data Market Manager.
'The socket has successfully met all qualifications required for use with industry leading processor chips'.
Lead time for the LGA775 processor socket is typically two weeks.
Pricing is below $4.00.
