Hello, I am wondering if anybody has process experiance of designs which use the above. I understand that the filled via is an excellent thermal cnductor, which is great from a design point of view, but how do these solder through the reflow ovens

Dave, Do you know if such thermal transfer study with CB-100 (or equivalent) is available for review? My customer is pursuing this option and I am curious on how much improvement I would see by specifying a conductive via fill on the board. Rgds, P

First, don't get too excited about the thermal capabilities of conductive epoxy. An epoxy like DuPont CB-100 increases the amount of heat conducted through the barrel, but many over estimate what it can do. Calculations show for a 0.020" drilled

Has anyone heard of vias cracking (barrel from pad) when being wave soldered. Was told this was a big problem by contract pcb designer, he always tent vias because of this. The reason was that the solder filling the vias caused stressing and then sep

I have never had this problem. It sounds like you are right in imagining that there must have been a bad supplier of PCBS or an inadequate design rule being followed, or a very bad wave process to have this cracking over wave solder. Some books requ

You should be searching on RN Wild, not Roger Wild This might be a good starting point https://supplychain.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/sc2011j.planteb.pacquetteasof1020.pdf

During processing, the solder in the vias reflows and forms solder balls. PCBs have solder in random PBGA vias from the board manufacturer.The manufacturer says this is a result of the HASL process and is unavoidable. We use HASL finish, multilayer,

I have seen a few references in this forum to an old study (1980s?) by Roger Wild at IBM. But I cannot find a published report or usable reference to one. davef mentioned the SMTnet archives as a possible source, but that has also been a dead end.

use something other than HASL. "The rest of the world seems to be processing with no problems..." [Hello!!! Earth to Carol. This is a test.] Things you are considering could be more trouble than they�re worth. "1) Reduce via hole size" [If you re
