June 3, 2020 | Southwest Systems Technology (SST)Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Southwest Systems Technology, Inc., the leading manufacturing resource for the Southwest, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a representation agreement with Thinky U.S.A., Inc. for the states of TX, OK, LA and AR. The pioneer of planetary centrifugal mixers, Thinky offers mixers for solder paste that are designed to be used by manufacturers prior to use in the SMT process. The THINKYMIXER was developed to efficiently mix, disperse and de-aerate materials.
Ko Takada, V.P. Marketing and Business Development at Thinky, stated, “Thinky U.S.A., Inc. is very proud to be represented by Southwest Systems. We are confident that our line-up will be a great addition. Our planetary centrifugal mixer is a very unique product that helps degassing and mixing simultaneously with or without vacuum.”
Today, planetary centrifugal mixers that Thinky developed as practical machines for the first time in the world are deployed in research and development around the world. The THINKYMIXER has had a profound influence on the manufacture of cutting-edge materials as a de facto standard mixer on a global scale.

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.
