Comment Re:Lead solder replacement (Score 1) 178
We have a product with about 15 fairly expensive BGA's on it.
Before RoHS, we had little to no problems with the board. After we switched, we have a lot of problems with cracked solder joints/BGA balls under the BGA's, and they usually doesn't show up right away, but waits for a few thermal cycles.
The ironic thing is htat since we're making telecom equipment, we're excempt from using unleaded solder, but we cannot get the BGA's with anything except unleaded balls.
