Andon’s BGA Sockets and Adapters provide an ideal method for mounting ball grid array devices onto a PCB. The device is soldered to the adapter, greatly simplifying solder verification and testing. The device/adapter assembly then plugs into the BGA socket, which is permanently soldered to the PCB. The BGA adapter is offered with either flat or countersunk heads. Our BGA sockets can be surface or thru-hole mounted. Socket insulators are made of FR-4 to withstand convection or IR soldering. Andon BGA sockets and adapters are available in virtually any size or configuration, using off-the-shelf or custom-designed screw machined terminals.
