BGA1 Prototyping
1. Use only BGA Land Sockets from
Ironwood Electronics.
2. Solder the BGA device on the top of the
Land Socket and solder the Land
Socket to the PC board.
BGA2 Prototyping
1. Use both the Minigrid Socket and the
BGA Land Socket from Ironwood
Electronics.
2. Solder the Minigrid Socket to the PC
board.
3. Solder the BGA device to the Land
Socket and plug the Land Socket to the
Minigrid Socket.
Note: The size of each hole on BGA1 is
0.0165” in diameter. The holes are large
enough to accept the 0.014” diameter Land
Socket pins. They are too small to accept the
0.018” diameter Minigrid Socket pins.
