Interesting document. They are using a very high tin content alloy 99.5%SN, and suggest they can cange to a 90/10 PbSn alloy that will still mean they meet the RoHS Directive as alloys over 85% lead are exempt within RoHS. so if they used this they c

Hi As I know PBGA reballing is not recommended or better not allowed by all the most important Standards. Exceptionally Cstly Ceramic BGA or Ceramic ColumnGA where you can perform electrical test before reballing (90/10 ball/column-balls made) some

We need to rework for CCGA1657 (Ceramic Column Grid Array): removal and soldering. Its size: 42.5 x 42.5 mm. Its height is 7.25 - 9.61 mm. We use 63Tin-37Lead water-soluble paste. Our mini-stencil is 6-mil with 27 mil apertures. Please show your expe

Kevin, I have done the following process to a similar problem: 1. Plug holes (even to both sides of the board) 2. Clean any flux left on the surface, especially on bottom side. 3. Apply Kapton tape to the bottom side, you mite want to apply 3 layers

Haaaaaa!!!! You contractors get all the fun don't ya??? Consider: * Replacing the balls on the corners of the devices with balls composed of a "hard solder", yano something like 90/10. * Shimming to prevent excessive collapse of a heavy BGA during

I have encountered problems with a 90/10 tin-lead plated SMT component wicking all the solder paste off the pads on the substrate. Worst, the defect occurs randomly - adjacent leads may have 'good' joints, though heel fillets are poor. The solder pa

Details, details: 1) The metal shell is part of the component body. The base metal is austenitic stainless steel (304) that has been plated with 90/10 tin-lead over nickel (semi-bright). 2) The entire part (leads and shell) is elevated by the mass o

| I am seeing reflow around my signal pins after being subjected | to a profile of 204c for 1 minute and 225c for a min of 30 seconds. Signal pins are soldered into a copper plated alum. case with SB5 and then silver plated. The pins have a hot oil

Are there formalized standards for the properties of solder balls? No Get IPC-7095 �Design & Assembly Process Implementation for BGA's�. General comments about array package solder balls are: * Ceramic packages use harder solder, like 90/10. * Pla

There's normally a number of reasons people want to know what melts 1st, 1 - to see if you know, 2 voiding issues - whole can of worms 3 device alignment. One of our collegues has said that most balls are Eutectic, that's in fact not totally correct.
