What is the PGA socket?

PGA (Pin Grid Array) sockets are a type of IC (Integrated Circuit) socket used for devices with a high number of pins arranged in a grid pattern. These sockets allow for reliable electrical connections and easy insertion/removal of PGA-packaged chips. Common pitch sizes include 1.27mm to 2.54mm, and they are widely used in CPU testing, programming, and burn-in applications where frequent chip replacement is required.

Key Features of PGA Sockets

1. High-Density Pin Grid Layout. Pins are arranged in a matrix (grid) format to support high pin counts and compact footprints, including standard and interstitial patterns.

2. Low or Standard Insertion Force Options. Low insertion force sockets are available for sensitive or high-cycle testing applications; standard force versions are for stable PCB mounting.

3. High-Quality Materials. Insulators made from high-temperature resistant materials such as PPS, PA46, or FR4; contact pins made of brass or beryllium copper with tin or gold plating, ensuring low contact resistance and RoHS compliance.

4. Wide Range of Sizes. Supports multiple configurations, from 5×5 to 26×26 or customized layouts, to meet varying chip and board requirements.

5. Reliable for Demanding Applications. Excellent durability and contact performance make PGA sockets ideal for CPUs, FPGAs, and other programmable logic devices.

Applications of PGA Sockets

PGA (Pin Grid Array) sockets are mainly used to connect microprocessors and ICs with multiple pins to PCBs. They provide safe, reliable, and removable connections, making them ideal for various industries. They are used in the following areas:

1. Microprocessor Mounting & Replacement
Widely used in desktops, servers, and embedded systems to mount CPUs, MCUs, and DSPs, such as AMD and legacy Intel (e.g., Socket 478) chips.

2. Product Testing & Prototyping
Ideal for R&D and lab environments, PGA sockets allow engineers to easily insert and remove chips during testing or debugging. Also helps inspect solder points clearly.

3. Industrial & Harsh Environment Use
Customized PGA sockets can withstand extreme temperatures, dust, and moisture, making them suitable for industrial control, aerospace, transportation, and automation systems.

4. Medical, Automotive & Military Electronics
PGA socket connectors are used in high-reliability applications such as medical devices, vehicle control units, and military-grade electronics. Compatible with FPGA, CPLD, and other high-pin-count logic devices.
