Afternoon All! I'm trying to find some dummy 1020-ball, 1mm pitch BGA's to help me set-up my reflow profiles with. I don't want to use the actual parts to tweek my profile, because these puppies are $3,700 each! (I get shivers up and down my spine just thinking about how much these cost...) I've contacted Altera (the manufacturer of the part), to see if I can obtain mechanical samples....as you may have guessed, I'm still waiting for an answer. I've checked with Practical Components, Topline, STI, and Best, none of them carry an 1020-ball BGA... I'm asking if anyone knows of somewhere else I can check...
