2.  Processor Pin Field Description: 
Information provided in this section is to ensure dimensional compatibility of the 603 Pin Socket with 
that of the Intel Xeon processor. The processor must be inserted into the 603 Pin Socket with zero 
insertion force when the socket is not actuated. 
2.1.  Processor pin field without Heatsink: 
The outline of the processor that can be used with the 603 Pin Socket is illustrated in Figure 9-1 
(Appendix A.1). This drawing does not include potential heat sinks since these are used at the OEM's 
discretion. Specific details can be obtained from Intel
 Xeon
 Processor Thermal Design Guidelines, 
consult your Intel field representative to obtain this document. 
2.2. Pin Dimensions: 
Details of the pin dimensions are shown in Figure 9-3 (Appendix A.3). All dimensions are Metric. 
Note that the pin diameter may vary by +0.05/-0.025mm and effective pin length by ±0.076mm. The 
pin base material is Kovar. The plating material and thickness is 8µin of Au over 80µin of Ni. The 
package Critical To Function (CTF) Dimensions are presented in Table 2-1.
