Can solderability be specified for BGA components? How much oxidation would render a BGA unsolderable? How would one test for solderability on BGAs? How does one "... ensure that all components... are solderable at the start of hand and/or machine soldering operations." (J-STD-001B, para 5.4) for BGAs? Any comments?
