LGA1156 Socket
3.3
Attachment to Motherboard
The socket is attached to the motherboard by 1156 solder balls. There are no additional 
external methods (that is, screw, extra solder, adhesive, etc.) to attach the socket.
As indicated in 
, the Independent Loading Mechanism (ILM) is not present 
during the attach (reflow) process.
3.4
Socket Components
The socket has two main components, the socket body and Pick and Place (PnP) cover, 
and is delivered as a single integral assembly. Refer to 
 for detailed 
drawings.
3.4.1
Socket Body Housing
The housing material is thermoplastic or equivalent with UL 94 V-0 flame rating capable 
of withstanding 260 °C for 40 seconds, which is compatible with typical reflow/rework 
profiles. The socket coefficient of thermal expansion (in the XY plane), and creep 
properties, must be such that the integrity of the socket is maintained for the 
conditions listed in 
The color of the housing will be dark as compared to the solder balls to provide the 
contrast needed for pick and place vision systems.
