We had a customer do a similar thing. We notified our customer and educated them on what was happening. We were instructed to try one and report on the results, as the vias were supposed to be filled (and weren't). We pasted and reflowed and as su

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

one of my customer areworried about the flux risidue in the blind vias, or if the plug the vias and there is air trapped the plug will blow during our process. Appreciate for your response

only plug one side, you can definitely blow out during reflow process with a sealed via/ it is impossible for flux to be trapped in a blind via. Russ

Russ We agree with your comments on plugging from one side only. But... We believe that it IS possible to trap process chemicals [technically, not flux] in a blind [or any other] via. This can be done by plating the via closed, rather than pluggi

First, I don�t understand why your board fabricator can�t do a good job plugging your vias. Additionally, when you consider that they forgot to plug the first batch of boards, it makes me wonder if they are desirable as a supplier. Generally, we us

Emmanuel: You have choices to prevent the solder paste from flowing to the second side during reflow: 1 Have your board fabricator plug the vias. 2 Put a temporary solder mask on the secondary side vias. 3 Have your designer relay-out the vias unde
