Hi Dave, I'll ask them if they consider it on the next spin....can't see any reason it would have any negative effects. Thanks! Steve

Soldering to thru-hole lead to ground plane without thermal relief

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.

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

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

Are your solder relief pads connected to anything in terms of ground planes that would increase the thermal load or are they floating copper? I take it your talking about wave solder relief pads?
