Your next flexible PCB chip might be connected via springs #PCB #EE #Manufacturing @whitequark
Connecting a large chip to a flexible PCB? CCGA are interconnects made of lots of tiny springs or columns instead of the solder balls or pads traditionally used. The spring technology was developed by NASA presumably for space flight.
The chips may be attached via a vapor phase reflow oven or 12-zone convection oven.
What’s your next flexible interconnect technology? Let us know in the comments below.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
