Hi all, These days our customer asks us to figure out ,during reflow,the BGA ball and solder paste,which will first melt? I think it's very hard to get the rusult.coz I think it'll vary at diffrent part of the BGA,and how can this affect the perf

Is your customer trying to reduce voiding? If the device is using Sn90 / Pb10 and the paste is Sn63/Pb37 the board will melt first. However, if both solders are 183C eutectic, it's a tossup? PCB design, copper weight, bga type (pbga, micro bga, Tbg

Very strange question,but interesting.Is there anyone who have conducted any experiments to figure out the results?I made a profile board,one thermal couple on pad and other one drilled into the ball of BGA.the 2 points are perpendicular to conveyor

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.

Hi, Has anyone done some research (measurement/simulation) on the effect of PWB vias on solder ball temperature of the component? Would this have some effect on solder joint reliability especially during power cycling? Any comments will be appreciat

| Hello reflow experts, | | I just wanted to know the effects of N2 and O2 on reflow furnace to the solder ball apperances. | | thanks in advance.... | | ...Omat | | Not really that much with eutectic balls and solder pasted pads and the reflow

Can you jumper the via to the pad?

I have a few prototype circuit boards with BGA footprints where some (but not all) of the vias have been placed too close to the pads. During reflow, some of the solder from the balls flowed into the holes. Only one of the pads under the BGA is not

Just build-up the boards and ship them. Be sure to inform your customer about the problem that you have with their design and ask that the via be filled and plated over to prevent the problem in the production runs.
