"OK. If the connection doesn't look like I expect it to look, how do I know that the metallurgy is correct?" Comments are: * There are no pictures that will get you though this. * You should expect that gold that is dissolved in Pb/Sn solder to make

Again, the verdict is mixed here as well, but from the seminars, white papers, etc. the consensus seems to be that Pb BGA's are not compatible in a Pb-Free RoHS Process...but... Pb-Free SAC BGA's are compatible in a Sn-Pb process as long as your pro

Dr. Lee, For Pb-free solders, will the reflow profile be similar to that of Sn/Pb, with an flux activation plateau before going to peak reflow, or will the profile be more linear in nature? Are there advantages/disadvantages to either profile for P

Just change the flux. I have had bad experience with IF2005

You need a paste designed specifically for this. They are available. Most have 2% silver in them and higher temp flux so you can reflow at "no-lead" temps. The silver aids in the intermaetalic bond and the high temp flux allows you to reflow the n

Indium Pb paste has always been great but the flux tends to implode on the BGA's (despite many different profile strategies). The Indium Pb-Free is horrible...horrible, and have been kicked out of my lead-free eval. PS-I went to Moonman/Guru link a

Are there any good solutions for getting good barrel fill on PTH boards using Pb Free solder and No Clean flux. All of our boards are having issues getting minimum required fill per IPC. It does not matter if the board is 062 or thicker, any pin conn
