HOW THICK IS THE BOARD? IS THERE A LOT OF COPPER IN THE BOARD? DOES YOUR CUSTOMERS PROVIDE HEAT RELIEF IN THE BOARDS BARREL DESIGN THERE NEEDS TO BE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR LEADFREE SOLDER TO FLOW, DID YOU CHECK YOUR PIN(LEAD)TO HOLE (BARREL) RATIO? N

First, two points about hole / barrel fill are: * A filled hole is an excellent indicator of the optimum process and optimum quality PCB. * The study that showed that holes need not be filled was paid for by the US Army and performed by Lockheed in

Cheery disposition??? Would a few ;-) ;-) ;-) help? [Oh and look who is talking, the one planning the Mickie D gig after the traces on the this board start vaporizing with the fuseable link schtik.] Are you sure you're getting flux all the way up

The minimum vertical hole fill is defined as follows: Class 1: Not specified, with a 270-degree circumferential fillet and wetting on the secondary (solder source side) of lead and barrel, and a 75% coverage of the land area on the secondary side. Cl

Questions are: * Does the component take solder when you dip it in the solder pot to test the solderability of the leads? * Can you get full barrel fill when wave soldering a bare board? * Is your flux reaching the top of the board through the hole b
