In part 3 of this a 4 part whitepaper series dedicated to CAD library quality, we’ll describe each aspect to consider when creating BGA (Ball Grid Array) component<\/a> library parts. It also describes the impact each feature has in the PCB process.<\/p>\n

\"BGA\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The BGA component family includes both collapsing<\/strong> and non-collapsing<\/strong> balls. This paper discusses everything from the land sizes for both ball types to the placement courtyard to consider for different technology and density levels.<\/p>\n
