Good morning all. I'm trying to find some help on my voiding issue on my lead free BGAs. I am using a Heller 8/2 zone oven, and using Qualitek solder paste. I had listened to a tech representing another solder company, who told me to make the joints

This is a post from another forum as a response from Bob Landman to a claim that he had no evidence to be concerned about lead-free in hirel applications (interesting read). See below and am sure many technetters will find this interesting **********

When placing the part to be reflow try applying heat to the board from the secondary side until the primary side has a temperature of about 130 degrees celcius. Following this procedure it should minimize the heat exposure of the part being soldered.

Now I've checked the archives on this and found the starts of an answer but not much else, but then that posting was a while ago and I though there would be some more data now. So here's the question: who, if anyone is placeign Pb-free BGA's (ideally

Is there not an issue with reflowign the SAC ball's in term's of drivign up the lead contect in a lead free joint that increases the risk of failure in them? certainly dramatically increases voiding... have some pictures of soem that a customer tried

hi... try evaluating eco solder paste Sn96.5/Ag3.0/Cu0.5 from Senju... output is good and i suggest your stencil's apperture ratio with the pad 1:1 when it comes to fine pitches...and BGA pads regards, janry

Search the fine SMTnet Archives for background discussion on BGA voids.

What causes BGA voids over 25%? Have recommended profile for solder paste, hit 237C for 5 seconds and still get a void on 2% of specific BGA in various locations. BGA is FG676, 1mm pitch, on ImAg using lead free paste OM338 on a 6 layer FR4 PCB.

I'm doing lead-free SMT of BGA with 450 micron ball. I found there are lots of voids under xray, there are around 2-3 voids in every balls. It is around 10% of volume ratio. I would like to ask if anyone know there is any standard of acceptable maxim

What would You recommend? PCB has 5 medium sized lead BGA packages on one side and huge lead - free BGA. On the other side among other elements of course there are 5 big sized lead - free BGA Quad Gigabit Pulse transformers. PCB plating: Ni/Au.
