In a PGA, the package is square or rectangular, and the pins are arranged in a regular array on the underside of the package. The pins are commonly spaced 2.54 mm (0.1") apart, and may or may not cover the entire underside of the package.

Detailed explanation-5: -LGA and PGA "Land grid array” (LGA) consists of a socket with pins that you place the processor on. PGA ("pin grid array"), on the other hand, places the pins on the processor, which you then insert into a socket with appropriately placed holes.
