Having just received a shiny set of PCBs from the fab-house [Devbisme] needed a way to solder the main chip in place. It has a Ball-Grid Array footprint which is notoriously difficult to populate in a ...

[Colin] uses some spare boards to lock the target board down to his bench and then uses a custom stencil and solder paste to prep the board. Once he has the solder paste on, he places the components ...

BGA soldering is very reliable if done using the correct procedure, so we introduce GA Soldering on PCB board, BGA Inspection and BGA Rework. According to different packaging materials, BGA components ...

Electronic devices continue to shrink in size with advancement in chip fabrication technology. Packaging technology has responded with improved formats to present these chips for assembly to PCBs.

This is somewhat Mac related, but I think it's more of a chip issue (esp on factory-assembled boards), so I figured I'd post here. Basically, I'm having repeated failures of an ATI 4850 graphics card ...

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spirit Electronics, a value-added microelectronics distributor, is rolling out additional capacity for its automated BGA reballing service. Spirit’s high-efficiency ...

Memory module makers often use X-ray technology to inspect samples taken from a manufactured batch for abnormal soldering joints. BGA connections are not easily accessible from all sides and as a ...

Simple and inexpensive semiconductor devices in earlier generations of electronic systems were easily discarded or recycled when they were damaged either before or during the printed circuit board ...
