OK, if the sphere of the ball and the paste on the pad are both eutectic, 63/37 then the paste will reflow first causing a drop of the component, after which the spheres will reflow causing a double drop and a good intermettalic. You can see this by

what is the composition of the paste and ball ? Interesting to know why the customer is asking you to look for it Thx

Hi Bryan The answer is in the paste compozition. Balls of the BGA are usually made by eutetic solder paste.

I agree with Jay. The paste will reflow first before the balls. The main reason is the flux content and the dimension of the spheres.

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

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.

First, it depends on the alloy composition of the solder. As you might know, eutectic Sn/Pb solder has the lowest melting point among available conventional solder systems. (except those based on Sn-In and Sn-Bi systems.) For example, 63Sn/37Pb - 183

Its in the IPC 600 bare-board specification.

Why do they say to specify the depth of the score, rather than the thickness of the web? How does the scoring equipment work? Is it two blades that you can set the separation distance? Or is it one blade, that you have to run the board through twic
