Ceramic Pin Grid Array Packages offer high I/O signal carrying capacity, excellent electrical performance and high thermal heat dissipation, with minimum package size. This through-hole mount package is typically square in shape with gold-plated pins brazed in a matrix pattern to the bottom or top of the package. CPGAs are designed for low inductance and enhanced thermal performance. Higher lead counts typically come with a cavity down orientation for potential application of a Heat Sink to assist in thermal dissipation.

Advantages of CPG's are:
  • The ability to handle many I/O's
  • Rugged construction
  • True hermetic encapsulation
  • Small footprint relative to pin count
  • Effective heat dissipation
  • Ease of PC board mounting


If hermeticity is not critical to your needs then we have a low cost version available. These packages are PPGA's or Plastic Pin Grid Arrays. Please ask your Spectrum Representative about PPGA's as inventory is limited.
