I have the following questions on Via in Pad and want to understand each of them wrt : - complete Via in pad - partial encroachment - via partially in pad 1) What is the general feel for via in pad for upcoming designs? 2) What are the manufacturi

Hi, I need help to understand further on the via in pad for 0402 requirement. If I were to do the DFM over the brd design which consist of 0402 with via on pad, what is the criteria that I should look for ? I learned that the via in pad does not wor

We figured you were going to say that. Pay me now, or pay me later, you call it. As an alternative: * Cover the backside of the via with masking tape that will take soldering temperature, like Kapon, or a temporary solder mask * Enlarge the apertur

Have your designer place the via on the edge of the pad, centered and cover it with soldermask. If this is a leadless capacitor or resistor-style component, the corresponding pads will need to partially covered with solder mask to match the via in p

Hello All, I am having issued with insufficient solder due to via in pad. It is a 10 mils via and PCB is 70 mil thick. Six mils stencils was used since there are some 20 mils (No clean process). Any recommendation? Thank you.

Via in pad is a designer's dream and an assembler's nightmare. Search the fine SMTnet Archives for previous discussions to get started. VIP, via-in-pad, or whatever tend to promote voiding within the via and certainly partially starved solder conne

Hello, those plated and solderable via in pads have two critical points: 1. We have discovered that _sometimes_ the plating seems not to be perfect, as extreme voiding is visible in tha bga solder ball 2. The detection of some defects by AXI is limi

Alternatives to consider are: * Opening-up your stencil aperture put-down more paste to compensate for the amount that is being used to fill the via. * Relaying-out the board to plug and plate over the via. * Relaying-out the board to move the via fr

We currently have an issue with via's in pads which we have been living with for some time. The problem has now escalated with the need to increase the via hole size to achieve PCB fabricators aspect ratio's. We are now not only experiencing solder d

Forgot to say that redesign has been argued and rejected for over 3 years.
