In switching to lead free processing, we find ourselves having over 400 PCB part numbers with Sn63 HASL finish. And there is no hope of quickly purging inventory and getting our drawings changed to call out a lead free finish. I want to avoid having

From what I understand SAC305 and SAC405 are considered low silver content and have the better overall mechanical qualities compared to more silver or no silver.

First, make sure that 63/37 BGA can withstand higher reflow temperature of of lead free SAC305 GSx

Any lead free will eat a leaded designed wave soldering machine. But SN100c will eat it the slowest, our soldering tips used to only last 3 months with SAC305 when we changed to SN100c solder wire we are having around 9 months tip life. Our wave sol

hi Dave.F and All, I need to reflow SCA solder balls on Sn/Pb paste, i get a pretty OK solder wetting and collapse apperance, however, i am seeing voids everywhere, some of them is greater than 25-30%, which has exceeded IPC standard. Please advise.

Change mfgrs of paste OR better yet use pbfree paste, If you are collapsing the balls on the BGA then you are possibly overheating the paste/flux quite a bit. most lead pastes do not like much more than 230 C. I am assuming that you have a decent p

The main cause of voids is your flux out-gassing during reflow. Try a little "knee" or slight soak in your thermal profile to dry out the volatiles a bit. Typical soak ranges from 130 deg. C to 170 deg. C for around 30-90 seconds.

what is your peak temp.. if you try to go too high say 225-230 deg C there is a fair chance of seeing voids.. depending on your ball size and paste volume you can get a good collapse at temps below 225deg C...
