Dim. shown: Inch/(mm) Application Specification 1.0 Introduction The 0.50mm and 0.65mm pitch BGA Socket Adapter systems are designed for mating and unmating of a BGA or LGA device without having to solder the device to the PC board directly. The BGA or LGA device is attached through a reflow process to one half of the Socket Adapter System ("adapter") and the other half of the Socket Adapter system ("socket") is soldered directly to the PC board. The device and adapter can then be plugged into the socket as an assembly. Once testing, debugging, etc. is completed, the device/adapter assembly can then be easily removed from the PC board and another device/adapter assembly plugged into the socket. 2.0 Scope This product specification sheet covers the 0.50mm and 0.65mm pitch Socket Adapter System with both eutectic Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) solder spheres as well as lead-free (Sn/Ag/Cu) solder spheres. 3.0 Product Overview Each half of the connector system (socket half and adapter half) consist of a male terminal, a female shell with a 3 finger contact, and an insulator [see Figs. 1A and 1B]. The socket and/or adapter may also contain a solder sphere in either Tin/Lead or lead-free compound. The “socket” is the portion of the connector system that would typically be mounted to the PC board (motherboard). The “adapter” would either have a BGA/LGA device attached to it, in device socketing applications, or be attached to a daughter card in board to board applications. The socket and adapter are shipped with a protective (pick and place) cover [see Fig. 5] that is removed after the solder-attach process and before product usage. This cover can be left in place for storage or for protection of the male terminals during the handling processes. 0.50mm/0.65mm Pitch BGA Socket Adapter System, Rev. 3 Page 3 ©2006-2008, Advanced Interconnections Corp.

Dim. shown: Inch/(mm) Application Specification 3.5 Unlike a typical socket/adapter system which has a female half (socket) and a male half (adapter), this design incorporates both the male and female terminals in each half of the connector. This patented design allows the use of existing screw machine technology and improved electrical performance over standard socket/adapter systems. [Fig. 4] 3.6 The socket and the adapter both contain four (4) alignment pins; one (1) in each corner. These terminals are nickel-plated and do not serve any electrical purpose. There are three (3) functions of the alignment terminals. The first is to align the male terminal into the female terminal. The second is to hold the protective cover in place during shipping and the third is to protect the small diameter male terminals from damage. [Fig. 4] Two (2) solder sphere compositions are available: 63%Sn/37%Pb leaded and 95.5%Sn/4.0%Ag/0.5%Cu lead-free. A protective cover is standard on this product and is designed to function as a pick and place cover and a terminal protection cover. This cover needs to be removed before the product can be put into use, but only after the solder reflow procedure has taken place.

Dim. shown: Inch/(mm) Application Specification 3.9 There are three (3) available alignment pin options for this product line. The standard configuration (no special code needed in part number) includes four alignment pins; one in each corner on the top side of socket and adapter. In addition to the standard pins (on top), the second option has four (4) connector-to-PC board standoffs on the bottom (ordering code 1), and the third option has three (3) PC board alignment pins and one (1) standoff (part of pin) located in “A1” position on the bottom (ordering code 2). [Fig. 6] 3.10 The specially designed extraction tool is used to remove the adapter from the socket without damage to the PC board or socket/adapter system. DO NOT USE A SCREWDRIVER OR ANY OTHER TOOL TO REMOVE THE ADAPTER FROM THE SOCKET OR PERMANENT DAMAGE WILL OCCUR. Only use the recommended extraction tool; Advanced Interconnections part number 8794.

Dim. shown: Inch/(mm) Application Specification 6.0 PC Board Design Proper PC board design affects connector reliability and performance. The following recommendations are intended to ensure reliable electrical connections, while maximizing manufacturing yields and aiding in possible rework applications. 6.1 PC board pad diameter .012" (0.30mm). 6.2 Copper defined solder pads. 6.3 Pad materials: Copper with Immersion Gold, Immersion Silver, OSP or HASL. 6.4 Solder mask clearance diameter must be greater than the PC board pad diameter and be registered properly so that .002" (0.05mm) minimum clearance is met all around the pad. 6.5 PC board vias should not be included in the ball grid array solder pads. [Fig. 10] The connector side of the via shall be fully covered with solder mask. Solder mask may be truncated along interconnect trace. 0.0199 [0.50] Fig. 10 7.0 PC Board Application 7.1 A protective cover is attached to the socket and can be used for vacuum pickup and placement with automated equipment. Placement by hand or with mechanical grippers that grip the outside of the socket will also work. 7.2 Socket will be placed so that solder balls are placed on top of or lightly pushed into the solder paste. Socket shall not be dragged into place, since this will track solder paste that may cause bridging and result in an electrical short. 7.3 Socket placement utilizes typical BGA placement procedures. 0.50mm/0.65mm Pitch BGA Socket Adapter System, Rev. 3 Page 8 ©2006-2008, Advanced Interconnections Corp.
