Hi Brian,

I asked the same question to the list a few months back and got the 
following answer, below:

Solder Ball (63Sn/37Pb) 0.0006 m
Ambient Temp. 34 Deg. C
Melting Temp. 189 Deg. C
Thermal Conductivity 50 W/m-C
Electrical Resistivity 0.000000145 ohm-m
Thermal Resistance 41026.51161 C/W
DC Electrical Resistance 0.297442209 ohm
Total Resistance 0.297442209 ohm
Power to Melt 0.003778045 W
Current to Melt 0.112702164 Amps
