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

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.

IPC-610 Rev B: Paragraph 4.1 (page 52), As an exception to fil requirements on Table 4-1 on thermal heat sink planes plated through holes, a 50% vertical fill of solder is permitted, but with solder extending 360 degrees around the lead with 100% wet

Solder 'follows' heat. 1. Preheating is a great idea, use a baking oven to get the whole assembly up to temperature, use the preheaters in your wave solder machine (without wave) to preheat the assemblies ... 2. Or use the biggest soldering iron

Should I use thermals or direct connects on vias from BGA pads to power planes. The via is connected to the BGA pad via a short 8mil trace.

Thermal mass is the ability of a material to absorb heat energy. * A lot of heat energy is required to change the temperature of high density areas, like a ground plane. They are therefore said to have high thermal mass. * Light weight areas, such as

Looks like lack of wetting. What is the BGA ball material? Could be high temp. Could be improper profile. Could be paste sat on board too long / flux dryout. Could be co-plane mount and this ball touched at the end of reflow curve. Could be cont

Hi, We have been manufacturing a PCB, however it's been quite tricky to profile, as the edges of the PCB are reflowing before the center of the PCB. I have looked at the design, and there is a small power plane for 2.5 Volt in the center of the PCB
