Abstract: A package assembly includes a substrate, a chip located on the substrate, solder balls, pads, an encapsulation and separating posts corresponding to the pads one by one. The chip is electrically connected to the pads via the solder balls, and is encapsulated by the encapsulation. The separating posts extend from the edge of the corresponding pads in a direction away from the pads. The solder balls are accommodated in the separating posts to avoid a short connection between any two adjacent solder balls. A method of manufacturing the package assembly is also provided.

Abstract: A grease gun plunger for a grease gun having an oil injection channel includes a motor driving unit, a plunger unit, and a yoke. The plunger unit includes a bracket having a bracket cavity and an elongated slot longitudinally formed on a rear wall of the bracket to communicate with the bracket cavity, and a plunger pin downwardly extended from the bracket for slidably inserting into the oil injection channel. The yoke, which is substantially held in the bracket cavity of the bracket, has a sliding channel aligning with the elongated slot of the bracket, wherein the driving shaft is slidably inserted into the sliding channel through the elongated slot in such a manner that when the driving shaft is rotated to slide along the sliding channel, the yoke is driven to move in a reciprocating manner along a transverse direction.
