Flip Chip Pin Grid Array

hardware, processor (FC-PGA) The package of certain Intel

Celeron and Pentium III processors. FC-PGA processors fit

into Socket 370 motherboard sockets.

The Flip Chip Pin Grid Array is similar to PPGA, except

that the silicon core is facing up and the heat slug is

exposed.

FC-PGA packaging is used by Pentium III processors, and

Celeron 566 processors onward. Earlier Celeron processors

used PPGA packaging.

Celeron processors are also available in Slot 1 SEPP

packaging and Pentium III processors in Slot 1 SECC2

packaging.

Adapters are available to allow a PPGA Celeron to plug into

a Slot 1 connector.
