- Dummy Amkor eWLP-Wafers 0.4-CuPd-DC-NB 8" wafer-embedded copper pads
- Dummy Amkor CSPnl-Wafers 0.4-DC-SAC405 8" wafers with SAC405 ball daisy-chained 0.4 mm pitch
- Amkor 0.3 mm CVBGA and Test Vehicle
- Jabil Solder Paste Evaluation Board and Kit
- IPC J-STD 001 Rev F/G and IPC Rev C 7711/7721 Hand Solder Training Kits
- Amkor TMV and PoP components and evaluation boards
- Foresite Umpire Evaluation Board and Kit
- WLP Wafer Chip-Size Packages in 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm and 0.5 mm pitch
The company’s newly updated Website, www.practicalcomponents.com, is the most comprehensive to date. Since the first Website in 1997, the resource has grown to be one of the most indispensable tools in electronics design and production.
Practical Components features technology that cannot be found elsewhere: dummy components that have the same exact materials but also are made on the same production lines as the live components. The company is unique in its ability to supply manufacturer engineering support to the exclusive products it supplies.
Practical Components specializes in in-stock availability, manufacturer support and traceability. Our customer support representatives are knowledgeable and have access to engineering data that others do not.
Practical sells components from leading companies, such as Amkor and WALTS. The same type manufacturers use for production or research so customers are always ensured of getting the same factory quality with the same thermal and mechanical specifications as the live components in their final assemblies.
Practical supplies all the “standard essentials” as well as the future technology that is needed for companies to advance their evolution.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
Breaking Silos with Intelligence: Connectivity of Component-level Data Across the SMT Line
06/09/2025 | Dr. Eyal Weiss, CybordAs the complexity and demands of electronics manufacturing continue to rise, the smart factory is no longer a distant vision; it has become a necessity. While machine connectivity and line-level data integration have gained traction in recent years, one of the most overlooked opportunities lies in the component itself. Specifically, in the data captured just milliseconds before a component is placed onto the PCB, which often goes unexamined and is permanently lost once reflow begins.
