5G networks will support exponentially higher data loads, a key factor in the evolution of smarter AI. With access to richer data, improved AIs will boost 5G performance by enhancing security, reducing congestion, and fixing network issues in real time. And with 5G and AI working together, data will become more valuable than ever before.
Data is just ones and zeros—until you do something with it.

LGA Sockets
Our LGA sockets provide a compressive electrical interconnect between the processor and the printed circuit board (PCB). As computing power increases, so does the chips' pin counts. A robust bolster plate provides a reliable interconnection to the microprocessor package and limits PCB bowing during compression to ensure a reliable connection. The contact tip geometry is optimized to reduce risk of contact damage during handling and package installation.
