What is the PGA socket?
Socket PGA refers to the type of central processing (CPU), which uses the form of the field with grid grid grids integrated circuit. With the PGA, the drawers are neatly arranged in the grid, which is an equally distributed network of horizontal and vertical lines that walk through each other. This framework is used to provide a pGA socket structured format. Pins or PGA pins contacts are usually distributed to a maximum of 0.1 inches (2.54 millimeters) on a square -shaped structure.
The motherboard that serves as a "heart" of a personal computer (PC) is a place where the PGA socket is mounted. The motherboard, which is also called the main plate or circuit board, contains many main components and features of the computer, such as audio connectors, video display connectors, graphics card, hard drive connectors and optical units and system memory. The CPU socket is to connect a CPU or PC processor to the base plate for data transfer.
PGA base also protects computer orP before possible damage when one attaches or removes it. Most PGA sockets use zero advertising power (ZIF), which requires no strength to insert and remove at all and can sometimes include a lever that would help in such events. A much less popular standard is the power of low insertion (LIF), which requires very low strength and can also include a lever.
There are a large number of PGA variants. The three most popular are the plastic pin grid (PPGA) field, Flip-Chip Pin (FCPGA) grid (FCPGA) and organic grid pin (OPGA). PPGA means that the socket is made of plastic and the OPGA is distinguished that it is made of organic plastic. FCPGA denotes CPU overturning to reveal the back, so it is ideal for introducing a cooler and disperse the heat it produces.
At the beginning of the 80s, manufacturers of integrated Began circuits producing PGA sockets. Dominated as the next two decades dominatedLow -based lattice on the integrated circuit market. One of the main reasons for this popularity was that it could accommodate more pins than the previous packages could. For example, a package of one in-line (SIP) usually contains a number of nine pins and the in-line dual package (DIP) offers two rows, a total of 14 pins.
On the other hand, PGA sockets can offer a number of pins of almost 1,000. Examples are Socket 939, which has been released by the manufacturer of Advanced Micro Devices and has the most PIN of any PGA socket since May 2011.
