It appears your board house is having a problem with the solder resist (mask). From the couple pix it appear that the holes are being plugged by the mask, so your HASL is not able to be blown out during the hot knife process. Time to call your boar

We had the same problem years ago when we started using a radial inserter. The inserter would dutyfully insert and clinch the leads. The problem in our case was the component body sealing to the fab, especially on electrolytics caps with a film jac

| Thank you all for your replies. Thanks to your replies and backup from the IPC-SM-782A (section 3.6.3.2) and James Blankenhorn's "SMT Design Rules & Standards," the designer has agreed to provide adequate clearance between the via and the pad. |

Do the parts sit directly on the PCB? Typical 2.0 mm Max is desired for the component to be off the PCB. Are stand-offs an option? The long lead wiggles as it passes through the wave and thus agitating the air out.Does your wave a "dancer" option?

No dome needed. You should check what type probe you have. You can look here and consult with them: http://www.qualmaxamerica.com/qualmax/leeno/semi.asp?string=ICT

You better be careful how you plug vias at screenprint - we currently have a customer that wants vias plugged, so we had a 2% aperature reduction so we would not have to much paste, I believe it should have been reduced more because some of the solde

Pete, is there a probe-style that will accomodate a via that's filled, but a little concave (inward) fillet? The ICT personnel complains about this scenario too. I'm not an ICT person, but I do know that there are pogo pins that have a crown (for t

Yes, providing the surface of the via is solderable. * If so, how much paste? => Vias come in various sizes. Boards vary in thickness. So, the amount of paste to fill a via varies. Roughly, you�ll need twice as much paste as the volume of the via

I have used tooling holes, connector holes, via holes, and others. As long as the hole is consistent than it should not be a problem. I have never tried a pad for a fiducial before because of the paste being on it and thought it would not work. So ma
