This 1.00 mm BGA prototyping adapter reportedly allows designers to add 1.00 mm-pitch BGAs to their prototyping breadboards. It uses a ZIF socket that enables multichip testing of up to 10,000 insertions. For testing, designers plug the adapter into the prototyping board with a 0.10" center grid and place the IC in the socket; the prototype is then ready to operate. Using this new adapter as a test socket is also said to be easy.
