BGA Pinch Contact Style
Off–set (0.8–1.27mm Pitches) and In–line Contacts (0.5mm Pitch and Below)


Sensata Technologies also offers a small 26x19.50mm outline through–hole socket for smaller 0.50mm packages. This socket can accept packages up to 11x17mm and utilizes a dual pinch style contact, eliminating any witness marks on the bottom of the ball.


Dual pinch contacts for BGA pitches 0.5-1.0mm and 0.8-1.27mm
