Help! We have been doing some trials on Paste Through Hole and have encountered a problem. The screen is designed (as is suggested in technical info re PTH) to give double the paste volume required to fill the void between the pin and via. The pro

With regards to first picture.(Large themal vias) I would attempt to measure the area of the ground pad, less the area of the "drain" holes or Thermal Vias. From that result I would reduce the aperture to account for about 50% coverage of that remai

| | 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.

Hi MK, It not really as simple as changing from one to the other. VIA hole, PTH hole sizes may need to be changed. Really the designer should re-evalaute the board before changing. Also remember your soldering profiles, both reflow and wave (if appl

Hello We have recently started to work with press fit but we are finding problems to reach the specifications in terms of hole deformation and whiskers. Do someone have experience in key process parameters and PCB design specifications (PCB harness,

Bernard Interesting point. Please help us better understand: * Why do 'VIA hole, PTH hole sizes may need to be changed', aside from the obvious with hole-to-lead clearance? * What should the designer 're-evalaute the board before changing'? * What

If the machine or machines couldn't recognize the fiducials, you can grind it with a fiberglass eraser. If the fiducial are missing you can use tooling holes, and/or via holes. You can verify the hole size and tolerance on the PCB assembly drawing.
