Hola... I'm in the middle of a project to reduce assembly time in one of our products, this product has a lot of TH connectors to be soldered by hand, I'm implementing PHIR, first run has been completed, the appearance of the solder joints are obvio

gregp: Our PTH process has not changed in many years. Our products are fairly simple as far as electronics goes and everything gets potted anyways. ~90% of everything we build is single sided TH with ~ 100 solder joints per board. Each board is ~
