Dave,

Have you tried a company called MiniMicro who make component print frames
(CPF) for applying paste directly to the BGA?  They could make varying
thickness CPFs for you to add some paste/height.  There # is (760) 591-3804.

Subject: [TN] BGA socket placement


Hello Technetters,

I have some BGA sockets which I am trying to solder to PCBs.

The sockets have stand-offs which prevent the solder spheres from collapsing
and making a good mechanical/electrical connection.

Ideally what I am looking for is a pre-formed tab to add extra volume to the
spheres.  I do not have an in-house machine shop to make a stencil to apply
paste and quite frankly I would like to avoid that course if possible.

Thank you in advance for your help,

David Tremmel
