Michael Sorry for this tardy reply - been a little busy of late. Just a note of caution. If you are intending to run some form of SIR test, then ensure that the dummy components that you use are exactly that - plastic dummy not real component rejects - it does make a difference. As a guide, you should specify Dummy components for SIR testing. Hope this helps Regards, Graham Naisbitt [log in to unmask] Concoat Ltd Phone: +44 1276 691100 Alasan House Fax: +44 1276 691227 Albany Park CAMBERLEY GU15 2PL UK -----Original Message----- From: Becker, Michael (Towson) <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Date: 17 March 1999 20:18 Subject: [TN] Dummy BGA Components >I am trying to locate dummy BGA components to simulate an Intel pentium >processor chipset.
