I had one project with micro-vias in 0805 and larger pads, with no issues. But my most recent project had vias that were larger than the 0402 pads that the via was in. To the point that for a number of the lands, there was no visible pads (a couple

Hi, Those via's sure do sound large, and I think the designer must have made a mistake in the PCB design do you think? From looking at our PCB designs, if we moved to via in pad, it would really reduce the size of the PCB, so this is an important i

Oooo, the solder on the pad and PGA ball is flowing during reflow down the via to the secondary side? Why didn�t you say so?? ;-) Why would you expect that gravity and capillary action wouldn�t force solder to flow down the solder plated via to the

Hello! We have a strange effect. Some pads of big trough-hole DDR slot just dessapear. Initialy it was soldered with selective soldering process (leaded, 290 degrees, ImSn finish, very short storage). Then some connectors with poor barrel fill we hav

From info I have been told from design standpoint, via in pads helps with managing EMC issues with working design, in particular for high speed digital/dense populated type PCB's. We had a manufacturing customer that had very low yield because of th

Hi, we used to have a RoHS package with uBGA 380 Solder ball's 0.8 mm pitch approx 15x15 mm, bump size is 0.4mm on a 0.33mm pad. Suddenly we need to use another vendor for various reasons. However, the new bump size is 0.45mm according to specs and t

Hi, What size via's are you guys seeing, as the ones in our products are incredibly tiny, and via's are very small now days. The via's on the boards we have are dramatically smaller than the pad on an 0402. Grant

Hi Nikhilesh, It was a long time ago, but we used to buy the nickel in reels then had a cut and feed station on the smt machine with selectable sizes. We did many types of boards in very large volumes, and usually the Nickel strip was soldered to t

Hi Sam, I have a feeling that what you're trying to communicate is that your DPAK's are skewing off the pad during reflow. This is caused by a thermal "mismatch" where the solder paste on one side of the DPAK becomes molten before the other, then th
