Dear Steven: Often the recommendations for baking prior to assembly are derived from various J-stds. But J's currently concern baking moisture out of components, and fail to address the moisture issues of the PCB. Because of that, there is the IPC D

less total area of voids, which mean a much more strength in the joint and much easier to solder such a cooling pad grounded via vias, with this approach! The same goes for big cooling pads of let say Power transistors without any via etc. Always re
