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

My company has been having issues with a lot of solder balls, solder splash, and flux balls all over a specific board. Now this is one of the only companies that require us not to clean our boards after our work is finished but this is also causing a

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

Also, solder splashes can be due to contamination, for example, on the terminals of components. In the past, had a problem with solder splashes on a seemingly standard SMD component. The reason was the incorrect nickel plating process of the componen

Hi, try a low spitting cored wire...something like ALMIT SR-LA cored wire...or SR-LA SUPER...it eliminates flux/solder spitting during soldering.

One of the common causes of solder ballin is also outgassing from the boards have your tested the board for outgassing? Bob Willis

I haven't, that is a good idea, I was reading about the chance of that earlier but I was not sure. The best way to eliminate is to bake the board?

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

Haris: On your soldering issues, we don't know the make-up of your component. We don't know the type solder balls on the component. We don't know the solder paste you plan to use. Your component and paste supplier are better sources for this type o

Here is a nugget from the Data Sheet... Wave Soldering: Excess moisture on the PCB during soldering may lead to random solder balling and poor wetting of some solder joints. IT IS IMPORTANT that the flux solvent carrier (water) is fully evaporated a
