OBJECTIVE
This specification defines the performance, test, quality, and reliability requirements of the MEG-Array , FCI’s
1.27mm x 1.27mm Grid High Density Connector System
2.0
SCOPE
This specification applies to the MEG-Array 1.27mm x 1.27mm Grid High Density Connector System which
provides for parallel interconnection of printed wiring boards in low power applications. It covers product
offerings of Eutectic SnPb BGA as well as Lead Free BGA that meets the requirements of the European Union
Directive of Restrictions for Hazardous Substances (Directive 2002/95/EC). On the contact interface end, it
covers precious metal plating thicknesses of 0.4 microns (15µ”), 0.8 microns (30µ”) and 1.27 microns (50µ”)
