A disadvantage of BGAs is that the solder balls cannot flex in the way that longer leads can, so they are not mechanically [[stiffness#Compliance|compliant]]. As with all surface mount devices, bending due to a difference in [[Thermal expansion|coefficient of thermal expansion]] between PCB substrate and BGA (thermal stress) or flexing and vibration (mechanical stress) can cause the solder joints to fracture.
