Via filling methods are: * Tenting * Plugging * Capping * Flooding Tented Via. A via covered with dry film soldermask; the via is not filled. When tenting from both sides there may be issues with trapped air that expands during mass soldering. Plug

Q #1) Is it more reliable to have the mask tent over the vias or risk getting vias half filled with solder? These are vias with an .020" hole and .040" or .050" pad. Q #2) When speaking of annular rings, I have always thought of them as minimums. Su

snip | | If you go for plugging be sure you have a protrusion spec that you can live with. This often results in little bumps of epoxy that can interfere with component placement. For us, tenting .015 vias usually gets us about 80% coverage from

Our ICT Guy here at my company loves to use lots of via holes as test points - via holes which are 0.040" diameter, and spaced at 0.004" edge to edge spacing! He doesn't like to tent the via's either, so I always battle via-to-via shorts at the wave

Samir, From experience, the only board test situation where tented via's have difficulty with contact is with a Flying Probe type tester. Otherwise, for traditional ICT, the force of the pogo pins, correct probe type, and fixture design should do th
