SBC35-427/Best Practices Do not bend or flex the SBC35-427—Bending or flexing can cause irreparable damage. Embedded computer modules are especially sensitive to flexing or bending around ball grid array (BGA) devices. BGA devices are extremely rigid by design, and flexing or bending the embedded computer module can cause the BGA to tear away from the printed circuit board.
