Forward - I've learned a lot. Have you ever seen the cross-section of a BGA packaged chip?

1. DIP switch
This is a cross section of a plain old DIP switch. There are four groups of switches in this component. This is one of the switches.
This is the annotated version. It looks very simple. The slider has two sliding heads. It is a symmetrical plastic part that can be installed in any direction. Only one of them is used now. Haha, this is what the inside of the switch looks like.
2. Slide switch
Cross section of a slide switch, SPDT, which is quite cheap.
Annotated version. When you flip the switch, the joystick forces the ball to press against the shrapnel, exerting pressure on the other side. It feels a bit like a seesaw.
3. Reed relay
This is a cross section of a miniature reed relay. These are used by the tens of thousands in semiconductor test equipment and then discarded after a million cycles, but in fact, this number is much less than you think!
This is the annotated version. When this counter exceeds
At 1,000,000, the relay should be unplugged and discarded!
4. DE-9 plugs and sockets
Have you ever wondered what the inside of a D-sub connector looks like? This is a cross section of a DE-9 plug and socket. Take a closer look. Do you see any subtle features?
5. Plugs and sockets
Ever wonder what a 0.1-inch plug and socket look like when plugged together? Don’t get the wrong idea. Take a closer look at this cross section.
6. Electret microphone
Cross section of an electret microphone
Annotated version
You can see here the electret film coating on the backing plate, the metallized film was torn and deformed during the slicing process.
How it works: The metallized diaphragm and back plate act as the two plates of a parallel plate capacitor. The electret material sits in between, along with a small air gap. The electret gives this capacitor a constant charge, Q... and since C = e0 * A / d, the capacitance changes as the diaphragm deflects due to sound entering, and since Q = CV, the voltage V = (Q / Ae0) * d. In other words, the voltage is proportional to the change in distance between the two plates.
7. Digital tube
Look at this cross section of a 7-segment LED display. We can see the tiny LED chips.
Annotated version
In fact, the LED part is still on.
8. Optocoupler
Have you ever wondered what is inside an optocoupler? Wonder no more, look at the picture below
9. Headphone jack
Headphone plug and jack, cross section of a 3.5mm headphone plug. Here you can see all the switches in the jack, one of which is for disconnecting the built-in speaker. Can you find it?
Cross section of an annotated version of the headphone plug and jack
10. BGA
Cross section of BGA chip package!
Annotated version

That’s all for this sharing. I’ll share more with you next time if there’s any update!
