Thanks FvM.

The height Issue :

Because the exposed pad,

when placing the FPGA in place,

has height from the PCB - you need to put a lot amount of solder in order to connect the pad in the PCB and the exposed pad with solder.

FvM,

Is this your preffered techniqe or you recomend to do it in an other way ?

thanks,

Amir
