The Organic Pin Grid Array (OPGA) is a type of connection for integrated circuits, and especially CPUs, where the silicon die is attached to a plate out of an organic plastic which is pierced by an array of pins which make the requisite connections to the socket.

A popular type of CPU to employ the OPGA is the AMD Athlon XP.
