Short term fixes can be: have the vias "plugged" with solder by the fab house. This works if your fab is HASL finish. Tent the vias with solder mask, top side only. You may get a flux entrapment issue in the vias with this manner. Long term fix can

Rather than having the artwork cover the via as with tenting dry film, and letting the mask do what it will, the preferred way is to do a second op silk screen with something like SR1000 just in the vias themselves to plug them. This doesn't always

My process guy told me that. Due to black spot issue, brd with BGA must use electrolytic finishing. And when we had this finishing with plug via, the blister issue pop out. My supplier claim that this is due to the plug via. Which I don't know how

Via in pad can have any size hole, but you're correct. The larger the hole, the more solder that is scavenged from the solder connection. We believe that a proper via in pad design will either: * Move the via to the edge of the pad and cover the vi

Steve, Trying to keep wave solder from coming up the via' from the bottom and adhering to the via's and via's pads during wave. We use WS flux thru-out the whole process. I have been concerned about possible flux intrapment in the via's. That's a g

The blistering is around the plugging via. I can forward you the pic. For the plugging process, I'm not too sure how they plug. What is the correct practise for the plugging via. Now, what they did is. They will do a tenting process for both side.

The bubble inside BGA ball locate at via in pad and apply the resin plug hole.You shall check the cooper plating quality on PCB pad. If there is thin plating or broken on the pad then air will come from the resin plugged via and be trapped inside the

Mantis: Kenny reflows paste on [wave solders] all via, not just the test via, to plug the via and provide for a pressure seal between the board and the test fixture. Beyond that, since solder is softer than copper [and fills the hole better], solde

We currently have an issue with via's in pads which we have been living with for some time. The problem has now escalated with the need to increase the via hole size to achieve PCB fabricators aspect ratio's. We are now not only experiencing solder d
