Koh Young Presenting at Upcoming SMTA Technical Forums
March 2, 2020 | Koh Young AmericaEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
In support of the SMTA and its local chapters, Koh Young will be presenting on March 19, 2020 at the events in Dayton, Ohio and Anaheim, California. Based on its award-winning portfolio of inspection and smart factory solutions, Koh Young selected two different technical presentations encompassing the solder paste inspection (SPI) and automated optical inspection (AOI) processes.
At the SMTA event in Anaheim, Allen Phung, Regional Sales Manager for Koh Young America will present on how True 3D AOIs can improve production quality. Over the years, AOI systems have become an integral solution for the electronics manufacturing industry, but not all machines make the grade. For example, component miniaturization poses significant challenges to that true 3D-based systems can overcome. The SMTA LA/OC has scheduled this event to begin at 6:00PM PST in JT Schmid's Restaurant at 2610 East Katella Avenue in Anaheim, California. Be sure to register at www.laocsmta.org.
The second event will be held by the SMTA Ohio chapter at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio on 19Mar. The full day event will help attendees extract value from SPI, AOI, and other inspection technologies in a roundtable presentation format. Isaiah Smith, Regional Sales Manager for Koh Young America will introduce attendees to True 3D SPI and explain its essential role in manufacturing high quality electronic boards. “With my production background as a Process Engineer at EMS providers in New England and my experience with a leading printer supplier, I am eager to share my unique insight about how SPI can improve manufacturing yields,” said Isaiah. “Many manufacturers simply use SPIs for pass/fail defect review. Few are actually performing data analysis.” After this presentation, attendees will understand that using parametric data from SPI can help them characterize, optimize, and validate the print process. Register today at the at SMTA Ohio Valley chapter website accessed through www.smta.org.
If you cannot attend either event, you can still learn more about Koh Young and its best-in-class portfolio of True 3D smart factory solutions, powered by AI at www.kohyoung.com.

Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Revamp Your Components with BGA Reballing
10/14/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileBall grid array (BGA) components evolved from pin grid array (PGA) devices, carrying over many of the same electrical benefits while introducing a more compact and efficient interconnect format. Instead of discrete leads, BGAs rely on solder balls on the underside of the package to connect to the PCB. In some advanced designs, solder balls are on both the PCB and the BGA package. In stacked configurations, such as package-on-package (PoP), these solder balls also interconnect multiple packages, enabling higher functionality in a smaller footprint.
