I am cosidering using a surface mount microprocessor for a project. It isobviously tiny and has 128 pins - 4x32 on the four sides.
I'm not particularly rapt in the idea of soldering at this pitch!!
Does anyone know of any socket adapters which will take pinouts at this pitch and adapt them to a more amenable pitch?
The other alternative is that the 128 pins also come in a version of ball contacts on the bas of the chip.
Does anyone know of a socket which adapts the ball contacts on the underside of the chip to a more amenable pitch for soldering?
Ciao
