FBGA - Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array

           

The Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array, or FPBGA or FBGA, is a smaller version of the ball grid array (BGA) package. As in all BGA packages, FBGA's use solder balls that are arranged in a grid or array at the bottom of the package body for external electrical connection.  However, the FBGA is near-chip-scale in size, with a smaller and thinner body than the  standard BGA package. As its name implies, it also features a finer ball pitch (smaller distance between balls).

   

Typical FBGA's have ball counts that range from 25 to 529 solder balls. The typical FBGA ball pitch is 0.8 mm to 1.0 mm, although thinner versions of the FBGA such as the TFBGA and the VFBGA can have ball pitches that are as low as 0.4 mm. A typical FBGA is about 1.3 mm to 1.7 mm thick.
