profile it for the tin/lead paste. The tin in the solder paste will begin to disolve the sac ball. This is exactly the same scenario as 90/10 (80/20)high temp balls found on ceramic bga and many super bga devices (except the sac balls are now tin r

Back in the mists of time there were two papers on the use of Parylene Coating and the improved thermal cycling results in 1990. It was on LCCC then shortly after on BGA. Does anyone know of results of recent trials or have a copy of the BGA papers.

Hi Grant, 1st off solder paste data sheets are just "guidelines". You always need to set your specs. based on the needs of your own process and product. Don't ever follow your solder-paste data sheet to the tee, or you're severely limiting yoursel

We're not clear on what you seek. So, as a starting point for our discussion, we wouldn't get agitated if we saw "routine" coplanarity of 4 thou. For instance: Maximum Lead Coplanarity [Altera] Package||Acronym||Lead material||Finish||Maximum Lead

My BGA is 0.5mm pitch with Sn66Pb36Ag2 ball. My PCB finish is HASL. Want to do reflow using Eutectic Sn-Pb reflow paste. My Assembly is IPC Class 3 product. 1. Is there any long term reliability issues with 2% Ag in BGA Ball. 2. If the PCB finish

I have to disagree with you, BillyD. If Craig searches the forum, he will see that the concept of a Pbfree BGA with SnPb paste has been debated many times. You say it is fine. I say it is NOT. There have been several studies done that clearly sho

Russ, unfortunately at the moment the preferred option of hi melt isn't available due to copyright issues. The current ball is made of 46/46/8 tin / lead / bismuth. ther ball's are 0.8mm in dia. The alloy actually has a plastic region around 170 and

Hi, What are your thoughts about the article saying that the lead will leach out of the solder joint to the last place to cool, creating a weak point? I have two worries about the report. First, is that we have always used tin lead solder, and le

I assumed the balls were tin/silver 221C or tin/silver/copper 218C liquiduous....but, this is obviously not the case. It looks like you balls are almost pure tin (mp=238C) You are correct. This is exactly the same as using 10/90 high temp balls o
