LGA1366 Socket
This chapter describes a surface mount, LGA (Land Grid Array) socket intended for
Intel® Xeon® Processor 3500 Series. The socket provides I/O, power and ground
contacts. The socket contains 1366 contacts arrayed about a cavity in the center of the
socket with lead-free solder balls for surface mounting on the motherboard.
The socket has 1366 contacts with 1.016 mm X 1.016 mm pitch (X by Y) in a
43x41 grid array with 21x17 grid depopulation in the center of the array and selective
depopulation elsewhere.
The socket must be compatible with the package (processor) and the Independent
Loading Mechanism (ILM). The design includes a back plate which is integral to having
a uniform load on the socket solder joints. Socket loading specifications are listed in
Chapter 4
