Hello, I would like to design the thermal reliefs/pads of my through-hole components. I would appreciate any info, doc or link about how design them (dimensions, slit width, circular or square, etc). Thanks a lot and best regards, Javi

Hi SweetOldBob, how did you say then?

That your problem is not related to component solderability or wave process related makes us believe this has to do with bare board design. Look at how your designer did the thermal relief on the two pins that don't solder well. If you can't get a

Are your solder relief pads connected to anything in terms of ground planes that would increase the thermal load or are they floating copper? I take it your talking about wave solder relief pads?

As in more dwell? We see the same problem with through holes connected to power or ground planes. The solder reaches the plane and stops. We are having our boards re-designed to increase the thermal relief and expand the hole size. We are also tr
