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

| | 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

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

Has anyone heard of vias cracking (barrel from pad) when being wave soldered. Was told this was a big problem by contract pcb designer, he always tent vias because of this. The reason was that the solder filling the vias caused stressing and then sep
