How can we identify the BGA area of PCB?

Hear about BGA PCB Assembly service, but I never order it. How can we identify the BGA area of PCB? Just very curious.

BGA stands for Ball Grid Array. It is a style of component footprint. These footprints appear as a rectangular array of small circles – one where each “ball” of the component is attached.

There will generally be a rectangular outline around the array that corresponds to the edges of the component’s package, and probably also some silkscreen (written) information identifying the component.

What Others Are Asking

Why is the PCB part number traditionally on a copper layer?

I notice that each design file from the supplier contains part number. It seems that it become a common habit in PCB design field. Just be curious about the reason.

What’s the warranty for the PCBA products quality?

We are glad to find you have ISO and BSCI certification. Could you please tell what is the warranty of your PCBA product? I mean, on average.

Is there any problems if I change 0805 too 0402 surface mount or smaller?

In order to reduce the size of a PCB, I will probably have to use smaller SM components. I currently use mostly 0805 passives, and am thinking about going to 0402 or smaller. Apart from power dissipation considerations, any pitfalls I should be aware of when making the transition?
