Sn63Pb37 Taped Spheres
Frequently Asked Questions
How are solder spheres used in automated PCB assembly?
Spheres are placed by pick-and-place equipment during BGA ball attach and assembly. Tape and reel packaging gives consistent feed and accurate placement throughout the run.
Which solder alloys and sizes are available in tape and reel?
EasySpheres supplies tape and reel in Sn10Pb90, Sn63Pb37, and SAC305, in diameters from 0.300 mm to 0.760 mm, on EIA-481-compatible 13-inch reels with 20,000 spheres per reel. Contact EasySpheres for special requirements.
Where can I buy solder spheres in tape and reel?
From EasySpheres, in the alloys and diameters above. Choose the format and alloy that match your production requirement and request a quote.
What are the benefits of tape and reel solder spheres?
Improved handling efficiency, consistent automated placement, and reduced manual handling in high-volume production.
What are the best practices for BGA ball attach in manufacturing?
