I have the following questions on Via in Pad and want to understand each of them wrt : - complete Via in pad - partial encroachment - via partially in pad 1) What is the general feel for via in pad for upcoming designs? 2) What are the manufacturi

Hi, I need help to understand further on the via in pad for 0402 requirement. If I were to do the DFM over the brd design which consist of 0402 with via on pad, what is the criteria that I should look for ? I learned that the via in pad does not wor

Alternatives to consider are: * Opening-up your stencil aperture put-down more paste to compensate for the amount that is being used to fill the via. * Relaying-out the board to plug and plate over the via. * Relaying-out the board to move the via fr

Via in pad is a designer's dream and an assembler's nightmare. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for previous discussions to get started. VIP, via-in-pad, or whatever tend to promote voiding within the via and certainly partially starved solder conne

Hello All, I am having issued with insufficient solder due to via in pad. It is a 10 mils via and PCB is 70 mil thick. Six mils stencils was used since there are some 20 mils (No clean process). Any recommendation? Thank you.

Ask the board fabricator to: * Fill the vias with resin. * Then metalize and copper plate the filled via along with the pad. * Then plate with solderability protection. This results in what appears to be a solid pad. For more, look here: http://www

Hello, those plated and solderable via in pads have two critical points: 1. We have discovered that _sometimes_ the plating seems not to be perfect, as extreme voiding is visible in tha bga solder ball 2. The detection of some defects by AXI is limi

We had a customer do a similar thing. We notified our customer and educated them on what was happening. We were instructed to try one and report on the results, as the vias were supposed to be filled (and weren't). We pasted and reflowed and as su

I have a customer that designed a fine pitch BGA into a board, and has put small vias in the middle of each pad on the PCB. Anyone have any ideas on how I can prevent the solder from the BGA from flowing through the vias and causing voids or no cont

I have recently encountered a new pcb design with a very high density of components on either side of the pcb. One of the suggested "fixes" is to use the smt pads as vias i.e. the via will be drilled thorough the centre of the smt pad. My concern i
