on the front end in design, minimize the pth connections to ground planes. this takes alot of work by the pcb designer and the approval of the design engineer. connect maximum of 4 ground planes to pth, minimum 1 plane. use spoked connections. ev

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.

Sr. tech, The mount tool test position is what I am refering to. The function of this is to determine the placement plane of the board. The mount plane will change if the board is thicker so thickness is relavent. regards Chris

As in more dwell? We see the same problem with through holes connected to power or ground planes. The solder reaches the plane and stops. We are having our boards re-designed to increase the thermal relief and expand the hole size. We are also tr

Dear SMTNetters: What are some favorite techniques for getting all of the solder from a plated throughhole on a heavy ground plane area? We are using a SAC 405 alloy. Regards BWET

Your problem is at your board house with the finish. There is not enough tin deposited on the ground plane. Could be the current density too low on the ground plane. If electroless they just didn't process these correctly. What is the finish suppose

MosheSh: When it comes to ground planes, most designers are out over their skis. They don't understand what's going on or how it affects their design. So, they get massively conservative about the number of plane layers, whether they can be hatched o

Yes, this board is approx. 3" x 17" x .062"T with large areas of ground planes. However, the delam. does not seem to be confined to the plane. We also see it around component pads and fiducials. Generally speaking, it could be said that the first
