What are you trying to do: * Improve hole fill? * Reduce PTH voiding? Hole fill: Search the fine SMTnet Archives for stuff like: http://www.smtnet.com/forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=36063 PTH voiding: Ideally, there are no voids. We're unawar

Do you of reducing hole size of DIMM connector will improve solder voids??

We'd go with the formula above.

Hi All, Via X-rays, we found solder voids appear on PTH location, especially on Dimm connectors area. We think this should be related to PCB issue as we found solder unable to fill up the PTH hole during bare board testing at wave soldering machi

We have prob Solder voids for Connector, Micro D. We used HMP solder wire and pcb thickness is 0.093".

Duno. What's the diameter of: * Finished connector lead * Finished through hole We reckon: Lead size plus ~0.25mm [0.010"] is normal.

Connector pin - 10.83 mils Hole dia - 27 - 33 mils. We are trying to find the optimam level for hole dia.

We had a similar problem with lead-free through-hole components. We baked those baords to remove the residual moisture and everything went to 100% pass - defect was gone. Couldnt hurt to try a sample run while you decide if the PCB holes need to be

ni, I had similar problem too.I bake PCB in SW mashine - about 8h ,T=90 C.Problem is in the base material of PCB - there are moisture in the material.After my complaint to PCB factory , they change material and the problem disappear.

iv40, I don't suppose you know/remember what base material you were using that caused the problem and what material you switched to was, do you? We just pre-bake all our lead free PCBs as a precuation but I would like to remove the process if I can
