  2. Ball grid array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_grid_array

    The processor is affixed to the motherboard by soldering the balls to the motherboard. This is thinner than a pin grid array socket arrangement, but is not removable. The 479 balls of the Micro-FCBGA package (a package almost identical to the 478-pin socketable micro-FCPGA package) are arranged as the 6 outer rings of a 1.27 mm pitch (20 balls ...

    They are typically used to set up or configure printed circuit boards, such as the motherboards of computers. The process of setting a jumper is often called strapping. [citation needed] A strapping option is a hardware configuration setting usually sensed only during power-up or bootstrapping of a device (or even a single chip). [1]

    The standoff provides a margin of space between the motherboard and the case to keep the multiple solder points below from grounding and short-circuiting. Usually, the standoff has a #6-32 UNC male thread on one end which screws into a threaded hole in the case or motherboard backplate and a #6-32 UNC female thread in the other end which ...
