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'm working a problem and looking for your input. Here the deal: Two sided mix technology board. Test is using unmasked via points on bottom for test points. Our fab drawing states tent via points on top side. First set of board came in with no tenti

How are the vias failing? Barrel crack?

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

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

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

We run into that issue all the time. If a corrective action must be done right away. Place Kapton tape on the bottom side of the board to cap off the via. If you have room to place tape if not use pink lady or something to plug the via. And weathe
