Hi, What is this unacceptable? Designed the PCB is much easer if this is possible, so it would be really good to know why via in pad is a problem in production. Grant

For the simple fact that the via in the middle of the pad causes the solder to wick into the hole instead of flowing out across the pad and part. Thus cause insufficient solder issues.

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

Finally some action in the right direction (time for the green flag to come down on lead-free???) http://www.pddnet.com/scripts/ShowPR.asp?RID=21505&CommonCount=0 News like that really makes my day, Patrick

Good one Dave, but isn�t it a good sign that nonsense are unlikely to be written into law in our country? Arnie was born in the EU and so am I but that doesn�t mean we�re ignorant. We just saw what we saw and moved on!!

You're correct. It is a good sign for Americans. It's a shame the Euros let their emperors run around in their skivers.

Does anyone know of any instance of a pending or successful prosecution in the EU in regards to RoHS legislation?

Good points Patrick. It really shows how little (if any) thought EU legislators put into the RoHS rules they came up with.

What? If you are talking about the US, you think there is NO nonsense already in our laws? Come ON! (There are entire novelty books with laws that are so insane or outdated they are roll on the floor laughable.) Jon
