HI ALL, can anybody clear me what is via tenting and via pluging?? second one, if i use via in pad for an.5mm bga what care i should taken, what should be the soldermask open in top and innerlayers for via?how it will directly connect to top layer

Via filling methods are: * Tenting * Plugging * Capping * Flooding Tented Via. A via covered with dry film soldermask; the via is not filled. When tenting from both sides there may be issues with trapped air that expands during mass soldering. Plug

I want to make a double-sided PCB. the process include conductive filling via for RF guarding. Does anyone can tell me where I can do it?

Sand is not a great conductor, compared to copper. Never heard of using the stuff on RF boards. Our board fabricator uses Dupont CP100, now CP101, [or something like that cuse who's going to check?] when plugging via on cheap boards. Your board fa

snip | | If you go for plugging be sure you have a protrusion spec that you can live with. This often results in little bumps of epoxy that can interfere with component placement. For us, tenting .015 vias usually gets us about 80% coverage from

For most applications, a nice square [or rectangle] pad works just fine. Assemblers ship boat loads of boards with these every day. It's reasonable for tight decoupling capacitor requirement applications to use round or radiused pads for components
