The results reveal that the shear properties of the single ball SAC/Cu after reflow soldering have a strong positive correlation with the Ag content. While after 250–1000 h aging at 170 °C, their shear strength all decreases and the effect of Ag contents on the shear strength variation eliminates, indicating that aging-induced Ag<sub>3</sub>Sn coarsening leads to a weaker difference in strength.
