Pin GridArray
TYPE OF INTEGRATED CIRCUIT PACKAGING. IN A PGA, THE PACKAGE IS SQUARE OR RECTANGULAR, AND THE PINS ARE ARRANGED IN A REGULAR ARRAY ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE PACKAGE
<hardware> (PGA) A style of integrated circuit socket or
pin-out with pins laid out on a square or rectangular grid
with a separation of 0.1 inch in each direction. The pins
near the centre of the array are often missing.
PGA is often used on motherboards for processors, e.g.
Socket 6 and Socket 8.
PPGA is "plastic PGA" (as opposed to ceramic?).
See also SPGA.

Staggered Pin GridArray
TYPE OF INTEGRATED CIRCUIT PACKAGING. IN A PGA, THE PACKAGE IS SQUARE OR RECTANGULAR, AND THE PINS ARE ARRANGED IN A REGULAR ARRAY ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE PACKAGE
<hardware> (SPGA) A style of integrated circuit socket or
pin-out with a staggered grid of pins around the edge of the
socket, positioned as several squares, one inside the other.
SPGA is commonly used on motherboards for processors,
e.g. Socket 5, Socket 7 and Socket 8.
See also PGA.

Land grid array
The land grid array (LGA) is a type of surface-mount packaging for integrated circuits (ICs) that is notable for having the pins on the socket (when a socket is used) — as opposed to pins on the integrated circuit, known as a pin grid array (PGA). An LGA can be electrically connected to a printed circuit board (PCB) either by the use of a socket or by soldering directly to the board.
