| | Is anyone aware of some guidelines regarding through-hole in SMT pads? One of our designers wants to add through-hole leads in some SMT pads for an inductor. The size of the hole is 0.032 inches and takes-up approximately 25% of the pad area.

| A user of one of our components exceeded the floor life of some plastic BGA components. They did do a pre-bake prior to SMT reflow but only 72 hrs at 40C and not the recommended 12 hours at 125C. I've recommended accoustic microscopy to look for po
