I need some information regarding the acceptability/unacceptability of using tented vias with LPI soldermask. Long story on all involved, but basically I have a board that I have had manufactured with no problems which has BGA/uBGA parts, tented via

Thanks Everyone, the information was very useful. We use 7095 as a bible. A-610 6.5.3 doesn't allow for any solder balls not entrapped/attached etc. so we will look again at plugging/tenting both ends of the via. We ran into the problem of the mask

When double sided BGA's are used on an .062 FR4 10 layer board should via's be plugged and tented? The CACHE chips being used are PBGA's 1.27mm pitch. The pad size is .030 and the finished via dia. is .010. This is a dogbone type pad and via design.

| | Q #1) Is it more reliable to have the mask tent over the vias or risk getting vias half filled with solder? These are vias with an .020" hole and .040" or .050" pad. WIth regards to this question, and scott's follow up, I have used the "epoxy me

Rather than having the artwork cover the via as with tenting dry film, and letting the mask do what it will, the preferred way is to do a second op silk screen with something like SR1000 just in the vias themselves to plug them. This doesn't always

Steve, Trying to keep wave solder from coming up the via' from the bottom and adhering to the via's and via's pads during wave. We use WS flux thru-out the whole process. I have been concerned about possible flux intrapment in the via's. That's a g

Q1. What are you guys doing for filled/tented/plugged vias on the BGA site? A2. 2221A, 4.5.1 tells you the vias have to be tented on both sides. Q2. What type of issues can this cause if using no filled/tented/plugged vias on the BGA site? A2. BGA

Morning all, my question is regarding the use of filled/tented/plugged vias on the BGA site. What are you guys doing for this? What type of issues can this cause if using none, or the improper via design. Regards, JD

SR1000 is commonly used for tenting. Search the fine SMTnet Archives on : tenting Someone gave us this note. We have lost their name. It seems to be good advice. If Liquid Photo Image (LPI) solder mask is required, do not tent via holes. Tenting
