Appendix D Case Temperature
Reference Metrology
D.1 Objective and Scope
This appendix defines a reference procedure for attaching a thermocouple to the IHS
of a 775-land LGA package for T
C
measurement. This procedure takes into account the
specific features of the 775-land LGA package and of the LGA775 socket for which it is
intended. The recommended equipment for the reference thermocouple installation,
including tools and part numbers are also provided. In addition a video Thermocouple
Attach Using Solder – Video CD-ROM is available that shows the process in real time.
D.2 Supporting Test Equipment
To apply the reference thermocouple attach procedure, it is recommended to use the
equipment (or equivalent) given in the following table.
