Duno. What's the diameter of: * Finished connector lead * Finished through hole We reckon: Lead size plus ~0.25mm [0.010"] is normal.

Connector pin - 10.83 mils Hole dia - 27 - 33 mils. We are trying to find the optimam level for hole dia.

We had a similar problem with lead-free through-hole components. We baked those baords to remove the residual moisture and everything went to 100% pass - defect was gone. Couldnt hurt to try a sample run while you decide if the PCB holes need to be

ni, I had similar problem too.I bake PCB in SW mashine - about 8h ,T=90 C.Problem is in the base material of PCB - there are moisture in the material.After my complaint to PCB factory , they change material and the problem disappear.

We have prob Solder voids for Connector, Micro D. We used HMP solder wire and pcb thickness is 0.093".

Hello Dimitry, EWI has been in the contract manufacturing business for 19 years. We're loacated in the metro Orlando (Florida) area. Currently running 3 fully automated SMT lines with PTH support lines. Would be interested in discussing your requirem

iv40, I don't suppose you know/remember what base material you were using that caused the problem and what material you switched to was, do you? We just pre-bake all our lead free PCBs as a precuation but I would like to remove the process if I can

hi,Toni, we use only FR4.Some of PCB we order in China and Taiwan.With these PCBs we can't any problem.Other PCB we order here in Bulgaria.The problems with voids start last year - we have voids only in PCBs from Bulgarian factory.The process is sam

Your puzzlement about blowholes in PTH solder connections during reflow soldering comes from: * Boards are hydroscopic. So, moisture content of the board is uniform. * Gold plating is uniform. * Nickle plating is uniform. * Copper plating on your PTH

Are your voids looking like blow holes also? Is this only occurring on the solder joints of the Thru Hole components and Via's? Or does this happen on SMD pads? My experience is that we have seen this but only with some of our older PCB's which are
