Hi David,

We have had BGA components up to 42.5mm square packaged in carrier tape.

Most of the time the determining factor is whether carrier tape exists in
the appropriate size for a particular part.

Subject: [TN] BGA packaging?



Technet,
I am quoting on a new asm that has several BGA's (256 ball count and up) + a
couple of very large 25mil fine pitch processors. We have never dealt with
these before. The question is do I need to get a waffle pack changer for my
Siemens Siplace line? Or can I order these parts on tape and reel. I assume
the fine pitch will have to be in tray form, but what about the BGA's?  What
is the industry standard?
Thanks
David
