Ball Grid Array (BGA) and Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) technologies are essential in modern electronics manufacturing. They enable high pin counts, compact form factors, and excellent electrical performance. However, because their solder joints are hidden beneath the component body, inspecting, reworking, and ensuring the reliability of BGAs presents unique engineering challenges.

The document serves as a guide for interpreting X-ray images, helping technicians distinguish between acceptable solder structures and defects like "head-in-pillow" (HIP). 3. Assembly and Process Control

As BGA pitches shrink below 0.8mm, you cannot fit a via between pads. You must put the via in the pad. IPC-7095 provides specific rules:

If your PDF has a copyright date older than 2018, you are missing data on Solder on Pad (SoP) and 0.4mm ULTRA pitch BGAs.
