How do people generally solder these devices satisfactorily? By hand or machine ? Looks like soldering with an iron could be difficult due to spacing between the pins.

Hi Lee,

Depends on the pitch, but 3 main options:

1) Use solder preforms and intrusively reflow https://www.indium.com/solders/preforms/ 2) Use a selective solder machine on smallest nozzle or Robot with fine tip. Our Versaflow 3/45 can handle the ones we do. 3) Hand solder.

Good luck, Rob.

My take ...

* Just about every BGA in the world is soldered in a reflow oven

* A small portion of the BGA are soldered with rework / repair stations

* A very small number of BGA are soldered with hot plates, toaster ovens, selective soldering machines and the like methods
