I have 15 very large backplanes (.156" thick Au plating) that the ground pins of a high density thru-hole connector were not thermal relieved in the artwork. As a result we are unable to solder the 8 pins that connect to the ground plane. We know t

Is anyone able to help me out on a typical aperture design for a castellated lead.

Is anyone able to help me out on a aperture design for a lead free castellated part? please contact me if you can.

Castellated is the easiest lead design. Anything longer than the out side dimension of the part should be OK. However, you will never get an inspection person to say it looks OK, yet the solder joint occurs on the bottom side of the part - like a B

With a 7 thou stencil, we'd go 1 to 1. So for a more typical 6 thou stencil, we'd bump the aperture area by 1.15, maybe 1.2. We make no distinctions between 'innies' and 'outies'. Are you talking about castellations on land grid devices [ie, BCC�, L

They don't look that bad, especially for SN100. There is evidence of wetting on the toe and the paste on the pad seems to have reflowed properly. What does the heal look like? That's the more critical part of the solder joint for Gull leaded parts.

there is evidence of wetting on the heel. This is the first time I have had this type of joint using SC100C on a leaded part. Usually there is at least some wetting on the sides instead of just looking like it is pressed in and sitting on top of the

I have a pcb with an ENIG finish that is using a 144 pin LQFP and being soldered withSN100C/NC258 T4 paste. I used a oven profiler where the probes are taped down to the joint and the profiling software adjusts the program for the best profile for

Did you try preheating the board then hand solder? Those little heat shrink guns work great for this.

A few more tricks to try: - Got a hot air rework machine? You can get more controlled heat on the area and lower the risk of damage to the fab. I never got topside fillets un unrelieve ground planes until I went to convection preheat on my waves.
