Our range of BGA Socket Adaptor Systems offer a reliable, economical way of socketing BGA packages. This is achieved by a two piece system comprising of an adaptor, which is soldered to the BGA, effectively converting it to a PGA style package. The second part of the system is a socket which mates with the soldered BGA and adaptor and has a variety of solder contacts on its underside, including BGA contacts, allowing it to be soldered to the PCB.

A brand new addition to this range is our 0.65mm/0.5mm pitch BGA Socket Adaptor. These systems offer a breakthrough in fine pitch BGA socket technology. The patented design alternates male and female pins in an interstitial pattern – offering the reliability of screw machined terminals with multi-fingered contacts in a compact SMT. At only 2.0mm 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.
