Richard, This is brilliant. It solves a problem that has been a pain in the butt for a while (shut up Hillman/Whittaker). How to get a non-daisy chained BGA? make your own. Brilliant. I feel like the Guiness commercial.

Please respond to TechNet E-Mail Forum <[log in to unmask]> ; Please respond to "Stadem, Richard" <Richard.Stadem@G D-AIS.COM> I had the same problem with a 1064 ball uBGA, no samples to set up the profile. So I purchased the reballing pre-forms from Winslow Automation/6-sigma and epoxied the flat side to a peice of .062" FR-4. I then had something reasonably close to the real thing. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Stephen Gregory Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 1:54 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Dummy 1020-ball, 1mm pictch BGA's... 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...
