Recommended Pb-free Reflow Soldering
Profile
Xilinx does not support soldering SnAgCu BGA connectors with Sn/Pb solder paste during the
soldering process. Tradional Sn/Pb soldering processes have a peak reow temperature of
220°C. At this temperature range, the SnAgCu BGA solder balls cannot properly melt and wet to
the soldering surfaces. As a result, reliability and assembly yields can be compromised.
The opmal prole must take a few factors into account:
• Solder paste ux used
• Size of the board
• Density of the components on the board
• Rao of large and small, lighter components (the mixture)
