LGA2011-0 Socket
This chapter describes a surface mount, LGA (Land Grid Array) socket intended for the
processors in the Platform. The socket provides I/O, power and ground contacts. The
socket contains 2011 contacts arrayed about a cavity in the center of the socket with
lead-free solder balls for surface mounting on the motherboard.
The socket has 2011 contacts. The LGA2011-0 socket is introducing a hexagonal area
array ball-out which provides many benefits:
• Socket contact density increased by 12% while maintaining 40 mil minimum via
pitch requirements.
• Corresponding square pitch array's would require a 38 mil via pitch for the same
package size.
LGA2011-0 has 1.016 mm (
24x16 grid depopulation in the center of the array and selective depopulation
elsewhere.
