Gregg, I recommend that you try Topline Dummy Components has a potential source. If they don't have what you need in stock they seem to have the connections needed to get what you want. You can reach Topline at (310)433-7000. Tom Carroll Hughes Aircraft Co.

We would like devices which we can electrically exercise to verify all internal connections, i.e.- bond wires up to a die. (We're using the HP testjet system to check for open connections.) Anyone with packaged devices which have defective die they want to sell? We have little experience with plastic BGAs and are experiencing problems with opens and intermittent opens after reflow. So far, the problems appear to be internal to the BGA devices themselves; the solder interconnects look good. We suspect package delamination but I haven't been able to definitively confirm this yet. Any insights into the moisture sensitivity/ process temperature sensitivity of plastic BGAs? We hear they can be more sensitive than "regular" plastic packages. Any info appreciated.
