< 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.
