A method and device for protection of a component or module

摘要

A connectivity from a module to a board is ordinary achieved with pads as via Land Grid Array (LGA), where an inner area of the module is provided with pads designated for electrical connectivity to corresponding points of connection on the board. To protect the component or the module and to increase the mechanical life time of the component or the module, the outer area of the component or the module ( 1 ) is provided with a peripheral outer line of pads forming a sacrifice pad area or pad ring ( 3 ), where individual pad or pads can be sacrificed without destroying the inner pads ( 2 ), which are designated for the electrical connectivity to corresponding points of connection on the board provided inside the sacrifice pad area or pad ring on the component or the module.
