The smallest finished hole available for 2 layer board is .020”. The smallest finished hole available for 4+ layer board is .014”. All holes are round and drilled through from top to bottom layer of board. No blind or buried vias. For holes = .15

I am completely new to SMT design and for my next project I plan to use SMT for the first time. Since production volumes of the PCB's will be low, hand soldering is definitely an option, and will be necessary for my prototype PCB assembly. My proble

Apply the correct amount of paste for the pad size should work ok, as long as the part starts out in the paste. If you have a reduced aperture and the leg doesn't quite touch any paste could result in non-wetting or insufficient solder issues. I gu

Try shifting the placement location slightly toward the pad that is not soldered. This is assuming it is always standing up on the same pad

1 chip has 2 solder pads....and both pads definitely has solder.... im not getting what you are trying to say.

You need to post a picture or describe your geometry better. Is this a through hole via in pad or is the via offset from the pad with no soldermask in between?

I have one pcb which has via holes on both solder pads of 0402 chips. Right now im using type 3 solder paste with 45 degree squeegee. and a lot of these chips are tombstoning. Im guessing with larger particle size of solder paste, the solder will

I do think that the designer goofed, and used too large vias. I believe he only used on size via on the entire board, regardless of whether it was in a pad, or out on the board. I have seen vias in pad work, though. From a manufacturing standpoint

You're correct. This design will have a record amount of 0402 rework for tombstoning and misalignments. Suggest that the pads on each end of all components be the same size in order to balance wetting forces during reflow.
