Device Solder Ball Requirements to fit Grypper Sockets

This document describes the minimum solder ball geometry typically required to work with the family of Ironwood Grypper style contacts.
The Grypper technology relies on interfacing with the device solder ball that has a minimum exposure and a defined equator, such that the contact can wrap around the equator to ensure the “Grypping” action to the solder ball.

*Actual device solder ball measurements should be reviewed to ensure proper fit with socket contacts – A1 dimension calculated at nominal ball diameter, A1 can be less if the 0.05 MIN Substrate to Solder Ball Equator requirement is met.
Standard Grypper and G80 Product do not have solder balls – stencil used for socket attachment – solder balling is an available option.

Stencil for Grypper and G80 socket attachment or G40 without solder balls:

Optional Solder balling on Grypper and G80:

G35 and G40 Typically are ordered WITH solder Balls but No solder ball option is also available – Stencils are not required with sockets with
solder balls. Socket attaches-reflows similar to a BGA device
Alignment Frames are used with G35 / G40 product and recommended to ensure device alignment to socket, prior to insertion:
