It might help to see a photograph of the ball side rather than the top

side.  If the photograph has enough resolution you can normally tell if

the balls are Pb-Free.

Subject: [TN] Altera BGA, lead-free or not?



Mornin' Everyone!

 

I've got a picture of the top of an Altera BGA to see if anybody knows

if this is a lead-free BGA or not:

We're thinking that maybe the "N" on the second line of numbers on the

part below the part number might be designating it as lead-free, but

we're not sure.

 

Good luck trying to call Altera and talk to a human being to find out

for sure, because it ain't happening!
