TopLine to Exhibit CCGA, Solder Joint Reliability Solutions at Electronica China and Semicon China
February 27, 2019 | TopLineEstimated reading time: 1 minute
TopLine will exhibit its innovative CCGA solutions at the upcoming Electronica China and Semicon China (co-located) March 20-22, 2019, at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. TopLine is a world-leading manufacturer and designer of component solutions and test vehicles for SMT/PCB assembly.
Featured products will include CCGA - Column Grid Arrays and daisy chain BGA test vehicles. ”There is growing Interest in CCGA Column Grid Array packages in China,” states Martin Hart, TopLine’s CEO. “It's about reliability. PCBA manufacturers are selecting CCGA packages because of the CCGA's ability to reduce stress directly caused by CTE mismatch.”
TopLine’s CCGA Column Grid Array IC packages are made with non-collapsible high-temperature solder columns for Surface Mount (SMT) soldering on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). CCGA packages provide more compliancy than BGA solder balls (Ball Grid Arrays) to absorb stress caused by CTE mismatch and increase solder joint reliability under harsh operating conditions.
TopLine has been active in promoting its products in the China market for more than 20 years.
About TopLine
TopLine manufactures a wide range of Daisy Chain test components, Column Grid Arrays, Particle Impact Vibration Dampers and engineering evaluation kits for process development, experimentation, machine evaluation, solder training, and SMT assembly practice. TopLine products provide hands-on learning for engineers.

Driving Innovation: Direct Imaging vs. Conventional Exposure
07/01/2025 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationMy first camera used Kodak film. I even experimented with developing photos in the bathroom, though I usually dropped the film off at a Kodak center and received the prints two weeks later, only to discover that some images were out of focus or poorly framed. Today, every smartphone contains a high-quality camera capable of producing stunning images instantly.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
