Sorry about that. I'd like to post a picture but doubt it's possible. Baseball cap = The pad solder reflows but the BGA ball and the pad don't reflow together in a continuous elliptical shape. Carol

I've seen studies were Pb-free BGAs in a leaded process have no reliability issues when a lead free profile is used. Pb-free profile ensure proper ball collapse and solder joint formation.

R4: We see the ball left on the PCB with a flat top and the BGA pad appears to be virgin. D4: Not good. The flat top indicates that the ball melted at one time or another. This pad and ball have seen at least two solder cycles with solder and flux. S

Hello there, I am currently doing BGA repair and basically I am applying the same process as Mike sujested. It is actually the way to go when creating a profile. The next process is re-balling your package, that is if you whant to use the same compon

I talked to a solder paste chemsist and found out a few things. From above (Dave F) states a test for solder paste involving reflow on a non-wettable surface. Commonly known as the solder ball test this test is performed all the time by paste manufa

SCREENING... 1. Is type 4 paste necessarily required? [No, not unless you are using it for some other purpose.] 2. Is No-Clean Ok to use? [YES] 3. How thin stencil is required? 5 mils? [5 is OK, but I wouldn�t base the decision on the 0201. 6 mil is

I know it is not what you want to hear, but first and foremost, you must consult your local regulating agencies and here is why: Solder paste contains heavy metals. We are all familiar with the problems associated with lead, but lead free solder pas

I would not recommend doing BGA soldering with only a hot air gun. I have done it in the past, but the boards would eventually come back from the field because the solder joints did not form correctly and the BGA would have to be reworked again. I

Hi Muse, what do you mean by "with a SAC Ball and SnPb Paste the ball liquifies at a much higher heat"? Actually depending upon the ratio of solder contributed by the pad (SnPb) to the ratio of the SAC solder contributed by the BGA Ball, the SAC sold
