160-pin QFP correct-a-chip adapter

5 October 2005 Interconnection

Aries Electronics has announced the development of a new Correct-A-Chip adapter that converts a 160-pin QFP package with 0,65 mm pin-to-pin spacing into a 160-pin through-hole array. With this adapter, the QFP package can be used in boards designed for the through-hole footprint of a Yamaichi footprint socket, resulting in a more reliable connection than with a QFP socket.

The UL94V-0 rated adapter is constructed with a 1,6 mm thick, glass-filled FR-4 material with 28 g copper traces. The male pins are brass alloy 360 per ASTM-B-16 plated with 5 μm tin over 2,5 μm nickel per QQ-N-290, and are both soldered and pressed into the body, providing a rugged and reliable solder connection. The extremely low profile of the adapter provides extra room for mounting the component in space-restricted applications.

This adapter is part of Aries' line of Correct-A-Chip intelligent connectors, which can modify and upgrade existing designs without changing existing PCB layouts.
