SR1000 is commonly used for tenting. Search the fine SMTnet Archives on : tenting Someone gave us this note. We have lost their name. It seems to be good advice. If Liquid Photo Image (LPI) solder mask is required, do not tent via holes. Tenting

Tough to say. It depends on the type of solder mask, the producer of the solder mask, and your board fabricators' process. As one angle on this, solder mask type affects thickness. Minimum clearance: * Liquid photoimageable: 2 thou * Screened liq
