The BGA solder ball composition is 62/36/2 Sn/Pb/Ag, does any problem exist for the solder joint reliability? And what is the difference on SMTA process between this and the normal 63/37 ball?

Git otta taun!!! I never have heard of an Sn62 BGA solder ball. Several thoughts on Sn62: * Look at http://www.smtnet.com//forums/index.cfm?fuseaction=view_thread&CFApp=1&Thread_ID=4603&#Message17953& * Search the fine SMTnet Archives on � Sn62 �

First, it depends on the alloy composition of the solder. As you might know, eutectic Sn/Pb solder has the lowest melting point among available conventional solder systems. (except those based on Sn-In and Sn-Bi systems.) For example, 63Sn/37Pb - 183

I have used LTS (Sn57.6%Bi0.4%Ag) solder balls for soldering on Ni/Au pads, and I have observed a wrinkle pattern on the ball surface. When you attempted soldering on CuOSP substrate pads under the same conditions, the surface appeared normal. Additi

Is your customer trying to reduce voiding? If the device is using Sn90 / Pb10 and the paste is Sn63/Pb37 the board will melt first. However, if both solders are 183C eutectic, it's a tossup? PCB design, copper weight, bga type (pbga, micro bga, Tbg

Will there be any issue if soder paste of SnPbAg is used for airborne application (PCB)

What do you mean by "airborne"? We have been using SnPbAg for 15+ years to build assemblies to IPC class II standards although with most assemblies going to Pb free, we are not using it near as much as we used to.

Let me thank you for the reply. We are manufacturing products which are fitted on the aircraft. We are using SN63Pb37 solder paste for PCB assembly. Of late one of the solder paste supplier recommended SnPbAg for better solder-ability & reliabi

Whether or not SnPbAg will cause issues is trivial. You must build to the solder specified on the print.
