I took X-ray pictures of two devices. There is a difference in the red circle, what is this?

Did you change it for some reason?

These devices are assembled in two separate factories with different CLIP configurations.

I want you to tell me three points.

・What is CLIP?

・Why is the method of making different at the factory?

・Is there a performance difference?

CLIP refers to copper clips. The device uses a copper clip instead of a traditional wire-bonding.
The method is different because the two factories used different equipment to assemble the clips, but there should be no impact on performance.
