BGA sockets won't compromise performance
A new high performance socket allows 0.8mm-pitch 15mm-body 18x18 array IBM FC PBGA 43P8396 ICs to be socketed and operate without compromising performance in very high bandwidth applications
The Ironwood Electronics Giga-snaPT BGA SMT adapter pair consists of BGA318A-B-62, patent pending female sockets with machined pins epoxy over molded into an assembly that matches the male pin LS-BGA324M-61. The epoxy over molded SF-BGA318A-B-62 is soldered to a PCB using standard soldering methods without warping.

Fault-tolerant file system adds multithreading
Datalight has announced a major upgrade to Reliance, the fault-tolerant file system for mobile devices and embedded systems available in Europe from Logic Technology
Both adapters are constructed with an FR-4 body assuring match with target PCBs and preventing failures that occur with CTE mismatch.
The LS-BGA324M-61 BGA adapter, to which the user attaches a target 318 to 324 ball BGA chip, is plugged into the female socket on the board, thereby chip is interconnected and the system is ready to go.
The SMT adapters have the same solder ball types as the IC they are emulating.
The Giga-snaP BGA surface mount feet adapters require half the force of conventional adapters at 44.5N for the 318 pin device.
The force to mate conventional BGA SMT adapters can be more than twice the insertion force of the LIF SFBGA318A-B-62.
The electrical path of the Giga-snaPT BGA SMT adapters is a high priority performance issue with the physical length from the top connection point on the male adapter to the solder ball on the female socket is 4.5 mm.
This is the shortest connection length by far for machined pin sockets, therefore providing better transmission of high frequency signals.
The 0.8mm Giga-snaPT BGA SMT adapter line is available in many different pin counts and customs can be delivered in days from Logic Technology.
