Ball / Land Grid Array Sockets
FastLock Type
E-tec is now the leading BGA socket manufacturer.
EP patents 0829188, 0897655 US patents 6190181, 6249440 Patented in other countries.
FastLock sockets are available for any chip size and grid pattern. The SMT socket is simply placed and reflowed onto the PCB in the same way as the chip and occupies only a small amount of additional board space. The solderless sockets are mounted with 2 or 4 mounting pegs to the PCB depending on the chip size. The FastLock retainer us a thumbscrew which does not require any tools for opening/closing of the socket. Torque tools or adjustment of pressdown force are available with this locking system also.
We aim to solve your requirements - many different terminals and configurations are available. Your custom ts our standards!
Plea note, we will always request the chip data to ensure we offer a compatible socket.

Recommendations:
Solder paste – Plea u a solder paste w/o any silver! Solder profile – Plea refer to our website
E-tec solderless sockets are adapted to a standard PCB thickness of 1.60mm. For a different PCB thickness, plea inform E-tec first!
SMT FastLock Sockets are recommended to be ordered with locating pegs for soldering to the PCB, to avoid the solderjoints from being stresd due to the torque forces
applied with this locking system. If ud without locating pegs, the life cycle of the socket may be heavily reduced.
For high pincount SMT sockets, E-tec recommends the u of a pluggable thru-hole socket mounted into a minigrid adapter (e also pages 15, 16 & 16a for more details).
