BGA Electronic Component Salvaging
Each year, thousands of BGA components are thrown away due to defects, damage or incompatibility issues. Yet many of these discarded electronic components are completely salvageable. Component salvaging saves companies money on electronic products and helps reduce the amount of waste that accumulates in landfills. Learn more about the benefits of component salvaging and how to become part of the green initiative at Next Node Innovations.
What is Component Salvaging?
Component salvaging refers to the process of saving and repairing defective or damaged circuit boards so they can be restored and reused. This process is more economical than scrapping a circuit board or other components and is essentially recycling for electronics. Rather than sending salvageable BGA components to a landfill, we take repairable circuits and rework them until they function like new. Even if an entire circuit board no longer functions properly, there are many ways to salvage specific parts so it can still be useful.
Why Outsource Your Rework Process Implementation?
You can salvage most electronic components of a circuit board that have not been damaged beyond repair. Here are some major factors to consider when determining whether a circuit board component can be salvaged: The component's level of moisture sensitivity The environmental elements with which the component has come into contact The type and level of physical damage Whether the components have a conformal coating or an underfill The component's electrostatic discharge (ESD) level The particulars of the component's salvage process.
Sometimes the salvaging efforts required for electronic components outweigh the value of the finished product. Yet in most cases, salvageable circuit board components are worth the extra work. To learn more about whether you should bring your electronic components to Next Node Innovations for salvaging, talk with one of our experts today about the options that work best for you.
Benefits of Component Salvaging
Component salvaging offers a wide range of benefits for both individual companies and the environment. Next Node Innovations has taken component salvaging to the next level with our green initiative, which involves reworking and repairing circuit board components and other salvageable items instead of sending them to a landfill. We can reball a variety of BGA packages, including LGA, CCA, PoP, QFN and Chip Scale. At Next Node Innovations, we believe that component salvaging should be the first consideration when deciding what to do with a damaged or defective circuit board. If we can save and repurpose a component with reasonable effort and resources, we will do so. Partner with us and help keep the environment clean by not sending good parts to a landfill.
