No paper thing, while I can make some suggestions based on my experience. what is the size of your via? If it's smaller than dia0.4mm, in PCB production process it should be filled by soldermask. So my suggestion is design it to be full filled by SM

We need some opinions about a situation that is causing problems in our process. The pcb's in question are .125 thick with a HASL finish. The boards are coming in with a large amount of solder trapped inside the via holes. Sometimes this solder is ac

It's not the first thing we think of in looking at your picture. First off, the lack of copper in the region of the red oval makes us think of a plating defect. We don't expect that moisture out-gassing through the barrel wall to show-up on opposite

We design a broad range of DC/DC power supplies for various telecom, internet, and computor applications and have been succesfully using intrusive reflow for ~7 years now. Our pcbs range from 0.065 to 0.090 in thickness and are moslty dense 4 to 8 la

| I am looking for the Industry standards on vias. Are they required to be plated with solder or is copper plating enough? What about reliabilty with either one? Also, if tenting the via is required should it be copper plated or solder plated over

Wolfgang is correct. Copper plating thickness of the via barrel walls is a key question you need to answer to troubleshoot this. Tenting is a red herring.

| Hi Everyone, | We plan to build, for reliability/experimental/research purpose some CSPs (namely Tessera microBGA 46-I/O 0/75mm pitch and TI 64 I/O 0/8 mm pitch). the various factors that we plan to evaluate are the reliability and assembly concern

We understand that you have boards in production that you need to ship. In the future, you could eliminate your moisture caused blow hole issue a lot more simply than baking. Consider requiring that your board fab plate the copper thickness of throug
