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

Since 2006 RoHS requirements have required lead free solders to take the place of tin-lead solders in electronics. The problem is that in some environments the lead free solders are less reliable than the older tin-lead solders. One of the ways to solve this problem is to corner stake, edge bond or underfill the components. When considering what mitigation technique and material to use, the operating conditions must be characterized. The temperature range is important when selecting a material to use since the glass transition temperature (Tg) and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) are important properties. If improperly chosen, the mitigation material can cause more failures than an unmitigated component.
