Flip Chip Pin Grid Array FC-PGA <hardware, processor> (FC-PGA) The package of certain {Intel} {Celeron} and {Pentium III} processors. FC-PGA processors fit into {Socket 370} {motherboard} sockets. The Flip Chip {Pin Grid Array} is similar to {PPGA}, except that the {silicon} {core} is facing up and the {heat slug} is exposed. FC-PGA packaging is used by Pentium III processors, and Celeron 566 processors onward. Earlier Celeron processors used {PPGA} packaging. Celeron processors are also available in {Slot 1} {SEPP} packaging and Pentium III processors in Slot 1 {SECC2} packaging. Adapters are available to allow a PPGA Celeron to plug into a Slot 1 connector. (2000-08-26)
