Tony, search the archives for "hybrid profile". There's alot of good info. in there about running Lead-Free BGA's in a Lead process.

Amol, I thought I answered your question in another thread, dude! Anyway, to re-iterate. Yes, I was able to pull it off a hybrid profile. The LF BGA passed tensile testing, but no, it wasn't thermally cycled or stressed first to expose any latent

If there is only a single lead free BGA on the BOM, I would suggest a "hybrid" profile. Use regular solderpaste (SN63/pb37) and peak your temperature at around 225C. Allow a bit longer TAL to let the two solders co-mingle at the BGA joints. You are

Amol, We pulled off this "hybrid profile" with a leaded solder paste. We recently got our tensile test report results, and our Pb-Free BGA / Pb Paste sample broke off during tensile tests at the pad/substrate interface, and not the joint. This ind

Hello, I'm having problems with voiding on an assembly that has a GPS hybrid with balls much like a BGA. This is a RoHS assembly using no-clean solder (Kester EM907). The voids are at or above 25%. I use an 8 zone oven where I peak in zone 7 and

Muse, I agree. There has been much debate but the previous scenarios discussed in the forum have been regarding the SAC/RoHS BGA and Sn-Pb paste. I have successfully collapsed a SAC BGA with a Sn-Pb paste using the "hybrid" profile that Amol refers

Hi, What is the non-leaded part ? the only real obstacle I have found is when using a Leadfree BGA with PB Paste. We have had to do this in the past - the hybrid profile I used was pretty much the same as normal apart from increasing the peak temp

SAC 305 liquidus is 219 C. A hybrid profile is often recommended with a peak of 230 C (reflow the SAC and not kill the Pb parts) with an extended liquidus of 60-90 sec to get good alloy diffusion. Or if the design (parts & pwb) can tolerate it go P

You say the BGA recommended profile? Or did you mean the solder paste recommended profile? I would use the solder paste profile over a parts recommended profile any day. You may need to create a hybrid of the two to get better results. What type

We've never, to my knowledge, sent out Pb-free BGAs to be reballed for use on an SnPb assembly. In fact, we developed an in-house reballing process and we haven't felt the need to do that either (for salvaging an occasional reworked part, maybe).
