Duno. What's the diameter of: * Finished connector lead * Finished through hole We reckon: Lead size plus ~0.25mm [0.010"] is normal.

Connector pin - 10.83 mils Hole dia - 27 - 33 mils. We are trying to find the optimam level for hole dia.

We had a similar problem with lead-free through-hole components. We baked those baords to remove the residual moisture and everything went to 100% pass - defect was gone. Couldnt hurt to try a sample run while you decide if the PCB holes need to be

ni, I had similar problem too.I bake PCB in SW mashine - about 8h ,T=90 C.Problem is in the base material of PCB - there are moisture in the material.After my complaint to PCB factory , they change material and the problem disappear.

We have read papers espousing using xray, but have never seen such a thing. It seems the contrast provided in the xray images is insufficient for analysis of the underfill.

Via in pad is a designer's dream and an assembler's nightmare. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for previous discussions to get started. VIP, via-in-pad, or whatever tend to promote voiding within the via and certainly partially starved solder conne

I have a customer that designed a fine pitch BGA into a board, and has put small vias in the middle of each pad on the PCB. Anyone have any ideas on how I can prevent the solder from the BGA from flowing through the vias and causing voids or no cont
