Just build-up the boards and ship them. Be sure to inform your customer about the problem that you have with their design and ask that the via be filled and plated over to prevent the problem in the production runs.

That's really interesting, davef. How would I jumper the via to the pad? Could you elaborate?

Thanks for the reply, davef. Due to prototyping time constraints, I've been asked by the engineers if I could do something on the SMT line to salvage this prototype PCB. Could I do anything to connect the pad or fill the via? Much of the board h

I don't believe that particle size of the solderpaste will offer you any relief from this issue. The solder flows into the via, leeching away from the desired solderpoint, after the solder has become liquious. The chemical make-up of the solder contr

Try shifting the placement location slightly toward the pad that is not soldered. This is assuming it is always standing up on the same pad

1 chip has 2 solder pads....and both pads definitely has solder.... im not getting what you are trying to say.

Al: We agree with AVFOM. You have a different problem than solder paste mesh selection. Most often, tombstoning occurs when the wetting forces on the two pads are unequal. Examples of things that can cause this are: * Pads are different * Board pad

I am a new employee at a company that has had a large turnover of employees over the past year. I am working on a board (components on one side only), the engineer (he is also new ) wants to use an .035 pad with a .021 dia. hole, there are no via's u
