We're with your customer. We believe inner layer separation is not linked to a heating excursion. What you are seeing is separation between the hole wall and the copper plating in the barrel of the hole on an unstressed PTH. Although, it's possibl

This processes has the potential to cause barrel cracking and pad lifting, because the heating is very hot [troop crank-up the volume on their iron when they see thick boards] for a relatively small area on one side of the board. What do we suggest

We are experiencing a high incidence of what we call "black barrel" (to differentiate from black pad) with multiple contract manufacturers and PCB vendors. The PCBs are ENIG and during wave solder (SACX-0307) multiple thru-hole components are seeing

We had a selective solder installation tech raise the connector body off of the PCB slightly with a spacer to allow for a visual inspection to verify the process/profile. A few years back we invested in a large enclosure X-ray with a manipulator arm

No experience with low temp solders for PIHR but we do use standard lead free 245-255 peak profiles on high temp connectors frequently. Honestly the added cost of the high temp connector pays for itself in labor. I almost always use oversized apertu

Wolfgang is correct. Copper plating thickness of the via barrel walls is a key question you need to answer to troubleshoot this. Tenting is a red herring.

What does a section of the through hole look like? Is you fab using a dull drill and plating over the fibers? Good luck

Being its sudden and only 1 product I would suspect the PCB particularly the barrels in the plated through holes being contaminated.
