Hi all
I want to use FPGAs in 100 or 144 pin quad flat-pack (QFP) packaging. I really want to be able to socket these somehow. Ideally, I want to have a ZIF socket that is soldered to the circuit board, and can hold the chip without any soldering, by pressure alone. Also, I am hoping for the socket to have a lever such that the chip can be inserted/extracted with no force. This operation would hopefully resemble DIP ZIF sockets. Does anyone know where these can be obtained for >$70?
Thanks a lot!
